Short Skirt / Long Jacket lyrics by Cake

I want a girl with
A mind like a diamond
I want a girl who
Knows what's best
I want a girl with
Shoes that cut
And eyes that burn
Like cigarettes
I want a girl with
The right allocations
Who's fast and thorough
And sharp as a tack
She's playing
With her jewellery
She's putting up her hair
She's touring the facilities
And picking up slack

I want a girl with a short skirt
And a long jacket

I want a girl who
Gets up early
I want a girl who
Stays up late
I want a girl with
Uninterupted prosperity
Who used a machete
To cut through red tape

With fingernails that
Shine like justice
And a voice that is dark
Like tinted glass
She is fast and thorough
And sharp as a tack
She's touring the facilities
And picking up slack

I want a girl with a short skirt
And a long, long jacket

I want a girl with
A smooth liquidation
I want a girl with
The right dividends
And at the city bank
We will meet accidentally
We'll start to talk when
She borrows my pen

She wants a car with
A cupholder arm rest
She wants a car
That will get her there
She's changing her name
From Kitty to Karen
She's trading her MG for
A white Chrystler Laberan

I want a girl with a short skirt
And a long jacket
