Prisstina

Song is from One Beat CD/LP, which is available at Kill Rock Stars.
Official lyrics come with the album; I have modified them so that the lyrics posted here
reflect what I actually hear the band singing in the song.
Because that took me lots of time and effort, please do let me know
if you would like to use the lyrics I have posted here on your site.
Or even just reference my site on yours. Thanks!

she was a very good girl
did all her homework in school
always came home with top marks
teachers said 'you will go far'

so she buried her nose in her books
and she never had time for those looks
for the boys had noticed her frame
had grown into a figure number eight

call her your Prisstina
would you put her under glass?
would you like to study?
'cause she's got such perfect class
oh, you want to tempt her
with your dirty rock n' roll
call her your Prisstina
'cause she's such a pretty girl

she went on to study ivy-league
to rack up points on her degree
while the other girls fondled their dates
she fooled around with her Bunsen plate

but one night she was walking around
(she) passed a club with music so loud
she wondered what it would be like
to stay out with a co-ed all night

call her your Prisstina
would you put her under glass?
would you like to study?
'cause she's got such perfect class
oh, you want to tempt her
with your dirty rock n' roll
call her your Prisstina
'cause she's such a pretty girl

the party's already started and the music's drifting in
don't wait on your fairy godmother, she's late on her way to you
should you trust that old Prince Charming
you know he never did you any good
but have yourself a ball, Prisstina, do all the things I would!

call her your Prisstina
would you put her under glass?
would you like to study?
'cause she's got such perfect class
oh, you want to tempt her
with your dirty rock n' roll
call her your Prisstina
'cause she's such a pretty girl

she will go to the head of the class
(she was a very good girl)
and all you boys need to get a late pass
(she was a very good girl)
'cause she'll leave those dull lads behind
(she was a very good girl)
yeah that girl is ahead of her time
(she was a very good girl)
