Lyrics

SHE TALKS LIKE A SAILOR (The Girlfriend Song)

She’s a foul-mouthed femme fatale
When she’s cruisin’ the mall
She can cuss a blue streak
And start a little barroom brawl
She’s got some four-letter words
And they never fail her
I love me a girl that talks like a sailor

She’ll tell some bathroom tales
Just to make my daddy blush
Like when she asked an old lady beside her
For a courtesy flush
I didn’t think my momma
Could turn any paler
I love me a girl that talks like a sailor

She’s got a wicked way with words
That just can’t be beat
She’ll make some middle finger magic
Just in case the point was incomplete

Now, my baby got a little bilingual
Down in Mexico
Talkin’ trash to the locals
And usin’ words that I didn’t know (no hablo…)
I had to slip the cops a twenty
So they wouldn’t jail her
I love me a girl that talks like a sailor

My baby’s always got
One foot in the trailer
I love me a girl that talks like a sailor



She Talks Like A Sailor (The Girlfriend Song)
