            Bm                A                G
I've seen a lot of women who haven't had much luck
               D                        A              C
I've seen you looking like you've been run down by a truck
           Bm               A                        G
That ain't nice to say sometimes I guess I'm really hard
         D                    A
But I'm going to put buckshot in your pants
         C
If you step into my yard

When I watch the police come by and move you on
Well, I sometimes wonder
what's beneath the mess you've become
Well, you may have been a pioneer in
the trade of women's wear
But all you got was a mop-up job
washing other people's stairs

D
I should tell (I should tell)
I should tell (I should tell)
I should tell (I should tell)
Oh! (oh!)

Chorus:
              G
I'm going to tell the world
                          D
You're a dirty little girl
Em                 C            D
Someone grab that bitch by the ears
Bm
Rub her down
   A
Scrub her back
     G
And turn her inside out
          D
'Cause I bet she
   A
I bet she
  Em
I bet she
      Bm
Oh, I bet she
A                       D  Cmaj7
Hasn't had a bath in a year

Here's my own belief about all the dirty girls
That you have to clean the oyster to find the pearl
And like rags that belong to you I belong to myself
So don't show up around here till your social worker's helped

I should tell (I should tell)
I should tell (I should tell)
I should tell (I should tell)
Oh! (oh!)

Chorus:
I'm gonna tell the world you're a dirty little girl
Someone grab that bitch by the ears
Rub her down, scrub her back, and turn her inside out
'Cause I bet she, oh, I bet she, let me tell you now
I bet she, oh, I bet she hasn't had a bath in a year
Oh ho
Ah ho!
'Cause I bet she, oh, I bet she
I bet she, oh, I bet she hasn't had a bath in a year

Dirty little girl (girl)
Oh ho (oh ho)
Dirty little girl (girl)
Dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty little girl (girl)
Dirty, dirty, dirty little girl (girl)
Dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty little girl (girl)
Girl, girl, girl, dirty, dirty little girl (girl)
Oh, oh, dirty, dirty little girl (girl)
Girl, girl, girl, dirty, dirty little girl
