I love these girls go passing by
or
All of these girls go passing by
or
All of these girls go passing by
Out of these girls go passing by
Bad office girls go passing by
Their tails make talismans.
or
I love these girls with bats and bikes
Because they smell of men.
Out of these girls go passing by
The tales they tell of men.
Don't need a firm embrace
Don't need a virgin priest.
Don't need a virgin brace.
Don't need a virgin priest.
Don't need a virgin breeze.
Don't need a virgin priest.
Don't need a virgin grace.
Don't need a virgin priest.
Don't need no girls
I don't need no fools
Don't need a virgin green.
Don't need a whore
I don't need no booze
Don't need a virgin priest.
I'm just standing in a four-way
I'm just trying to make some cents.
I'm just standing in a doorway
I'm just trying to make some sense.
I'm just waitin' on a bridge.
I'm just waiting on a friend.
I'm not waiting on my lady
I'm not waiting on a lady
Making love and breaking hearts
It is a game for you.
Making love and breaking hearts
It is a game for youth.
Watching girls drop acid
Why, it ain't the latest thing.
or
Watching girls go passing by
It ain't the ladies' thing.
Watching girls go passing by
It ain't the latest thing.
I'm just waiting on a train
I'm just waiting on a friend
Don't need a whore
I don't need no flooze
Don't need a virgin priest.
Don't need a whore
I don't need no booze
Don't need a virgin priest.
It ain't the lady's king
It ain't the latest thing
The tales of Phil and Lil
The tales they tell of men
Phil and Lil are the twin characters from the Rugrats
