♪♫ You know I got a thing for women
That are lean, and know their demons
Diamonds and sequins don't knock them on their ass

I got a high struttin' floozy
She's clean and always choosy
She clawed her way up to the head of her class

(CHORUS):

And they call her a Jaded Strumpet
You know that girl sure blows trumpet
Got a hootchie cootchie throwback
If you treat her right she might show you there

(END CHORUS)

Now she won't ask the worlds permission
To please her needs and disposition
She does what she wants and she says what she feels
And if you try to catch and hold her
Then do your best that you won't bore her
She don't need ya just to pay for her meals

(CHORUS)

And if you think she'll let you ride her
Only two words can describe her
Please, don't you overdrive her
She's really quite a lady, in her own way

You know I got a thing for women
That are lean, and know their demons
Diamonds and sequins don't knock them on their ass

I got a high struttin' floozy
She's clean and always choosy
She clawed her way to the head of her class

(CHORUS)

....Yeah she might show you there,
Hey, she gonna show you there
Yeah, ooow...

Yeah, yeah Jaded Strumpet
That girl, she sure blows trumpet, ooh!
Yeah, yeah Jaded Strumpet
You know the chicks' show's alright
Yeah, yeah Jaded Strumpet
The girl, wow, won't you blow trumpet
Yeah, yeah Jaded Strumpet
H'come I never see ya out there, alright
Yeah, yeah Jaded Strumpet
The girl, she sure blows, blows trumpet
[Fade] Yeah, yeah Jaded Strumpet
The girl, now she sure gets my trumpet, oow ♪♫
