The Jean Genie Lyrics By David Bowie

    a small jean genie snuck off to the city
    strung out on lasers and slash back blazers
    and ate all your razors while pulling the waiters
    talking ’bout monroe and walking on snow white
    new york’s a gogo and everything tastes nice
    poor little greenie
    woohoo

    get back one

    the jean genie lives on his back
    the jean genie loves chimney stacks
    the jean genie he’s outrageous he screams and he bawls
    the jean genie let yourself go oh

    interlude

    sits like a man but he smiles like a reptile
    she loves him she loves him but just for a short while
    she’ll scratch in the sand won’t let go his hand
    he says he’s a beautician and sells you nutrition
    and keeps all your dead hair for making up underwear
    poor little greenie

    the jean genie lives on his back
    the jean genie loves chimney stacks
    the jean genie he’s outrageous he screams and he bawls
    the jean genie let yourself go whoaoh

    interlude

    he’s so simple minded he can’t drive his module
    he bites on the neon and sleeps in the capsule
    loves to be loved
    loves to be loved

    woohoo
    woohoo

    oh the jean genie lives on his back
    the jean genie loves chimney stacks
    the jean genie he’s outrageous he screams and he bawls
    the jean genie let yourself go oh
    go
    go

    the jean genie lives on his back
    the jean genie loves chimney stacks
    the jean genie he’s outrageous he screams and he bawls
    the jean genie let yourself go oh
    go
    go go
