The Jean Genie lyrics
by David Bowie



==============A small Jean Genie snuck off to the cityStrung out on lasers and slash back plazasAte all your razors while pulling the waitersTalking bout Monroe and walking on Snow WhiteNew York's a go-go and everything tastes rightPoor little GreenieThe Jean Genie lives on his backThe Jean Genie loves chimney stacksHe's outrageous, he screams and he bawlsJean Genie let yourself go!Sits like a man but he smiles like a reptileShe loves him, she loves him but just for a short whileShe'll scratch in the sand, won't let go his handHe says he's a beautician and sells you nutritionAnd keeps all your dead hair for making up underwearPoor little GreenieThe Jean Genie lives on his backThe Jean Genie loves chimney stacksHe's outrageous, he screams and he bawlsJean Genie let yourself go!He's so simple minded he can't drive his moduleHe bites on the neon and sleeps in the capsuleLoves to be loved, loves to be lovedThe Jean Genie lives on his backThe Jean Genie loves chimney stacksHe's outrageous, he screams and he bawlsJean Genie let yourself go!
