Skinny Legs
Lyle Lovett (c) 1994
from the album "I Love Everybody"

D G D
See that boy with that guitar
G D A D
He's got skinny legs like I always wanted
G D
A girlfriend in his car 'cause he's got
G D A D
Skinny legs like I always wanted
G D
Now sister look at me again
G A D
Well, you'd love me if I was as skinny as him


2. And see that boy with that guitar
He's got a shirt and tie like I always wanted
A girlfriend in his car 'cause he's got
A shirt and tie like I always wanted
Now sister look at me again
Well, you'd love me if I was a dresser like him

3. And see that boy with that guitar
He's got a blue Toyota like I always wanted
A Japanese girl in his car 'cause he's got
A blue Toyota like I always wanted
Now sister look at me again
Well, you'd love me if I was a driver like him

4. And see that boy with that guitar
He's got a baby face like I always wanted
A girlfriend in his car 'cause he's got
A baby face like I always wanted
Now sister look at me again
Well, you'd love me if I was a looker like him

5. And see that boy with that guitar
He's got a little round ... like I always wanted
A girlfriend in his car 'cause he's got
A little round ... like I always wanted
Now sister look at me again
Well, you'd love me if I had a ... like him
You'd love me if that were my rear end

(bridge)
D G D
But legs they come and faces go
G A D
Just like old Toyotas
D G D
The Jap girl dumped my ass and stole my clothes
G D A D
She took my car and left me singing

See that boy with that guitar
He's got skinny legs like I always wanted
A girlfriend in his car 'cause he's got
Skinny legs like I always wanted
Skinny legs like I always wanted

--
"The little man knows all ..."
