Long as I wear the perfume you wear, smell like turnip greens.
[D] And every time I kiss you child, [Gm] it tastes like a pork and beans.
[Eb] And even [Am] though [Abm]
you're [Eb] wearing those [G] [Eb] city-flat-a-high [B] [Bb] heels,
I can tell by your [Fm] giant step you've been [Bb] walking through the cotton [Db] fields.

[Bb] [F] [Eb] you're so
[Gm] dumb.
