Pick Me I'm Clean
Lyrics
Why not come over?
You'll meet my mother
You'll meet my sister
You'll like my brother
Really you will . . .
Then she said,
I'm learning English
I can say "thank you"
I think I like you
Do you like my band-aid?
I hope you do . . .
Oh, oh, oh
I am not busy
I'm free to travel
Where are you going?
Maybe you'll take me
I hope you do . . .
Oh, she asked me
Do you know Vinnie?
He used to like me
I speak good English
I'm bathing with Peter
Pick me, I'm clean . . .
Vinnie goes bare-back
Peter goes wet-back
Denny goes way back
Eddie should get back
Pick me I'm clean . . .
Oh yeah, pick me I'm clean
Oh yeah, check out my band-aid
Oh yeah, pick me I'm clean
Oh yeah, check out my band-aid
Oh yeah, pick me I'm clean
Oh yeah, check out my band-aid
Oh yeah, pick me I'm clean
Oh yeah . . .
Why not come over?
You'll meet my mother
You'll meet my sister
You'll like my brother
Really you will . . .
I'm learning English
I can say "thank you"
I think I like you
Do you like my band-aid?
I hope you do . . .
I am not busy
I'm free to travel
Where are you going?
Maybe you'll take me
I hope you do . . .
Do you know Vinnie?
He used to like me
I speak good English
I'm bathing with Peter
Pick me, I'm clean . . .
