Cake Lyrics

Short Skirt / Long Jacket Lyrics



I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
I want a girl who knows what's best
I want a girl with shoes that cut
And eyes that burn like cigarettes

I want a girl with the right allocations
Who's fast and thorough
And sharp as a tack
She's playing with her jewelry
She's putting up her hair
She's touring the facility
And picking up slack

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnng jacket......

I want a girl who gets up early
I want a girl who stays up late
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity
Who used a machette to cut through red tape
With fingernails that shine like justice
And a voice that is dark like tinted glass

She is fast and thorough
And sharp as a tack
She's touring the facility
And picking up slack

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnnng.... lonnng jacket

I want a girl with a smooth liquidation
I want a girl with good dividends
And at the city bank we will meet accidentally
We'll start to talk when she borrows my pen

She wants a car with a cupholder arm rest
She wants a car that will get her there
She's changing her name from Kitty to Karen
She's trading her MG for a white Chrysler La Baron

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnnggggggggg jacket

I prefer the fresh taste of Myrth: Classic Edition. I also have no idea what I am talking about right now.

Good tune, great band, but Italian Leather Sofa beats Short Skirt/Long Jacket. It's a pity they only got that tune as a hit single because of the video concept, but they're still a great hidden treasure for people who check out music beyond the top fourty.

Didn't they get a single and a video out of "He's going the distance"?

lol wow i am stupid
the bands pretty good
They’re music is pretty groovy

You gotta love Cake. Any band with bridge lyrics like these is worthy of undying love:

"Well alot of good cars are Japanese
But when we're driving far
I need my baby, I need my baby next to me"


Eh, I guess it's only funny when you hear the song. So nevermind me...

Cake: it's a made-up drug.

I only know their cover version of Gloria Gaynor's I will survive. Great song. The cover.

Cake is good.
