Chinna girl was a little girl from a town

That's all you need to know

Lolita was a man eater

Clocked him like a taxi meter

Fuck gold, she was a platinum digger

Shakin' ass making moves on a mover

Visa, then a plane ride to ya

Peace, she'll kill you like uma

She skipped away to the shop

She found she didn't have enough

She clocked him looking right at her

And sucked on a lollipop

She skipped away to the shop

She found she didn't have enough

She clocked him looking right at her

And sucked on a lollipop

Hey, what now?

Chinna girl grew up to be a big girl

Had her sights set on a bigger world

Dial a bride from Sri Lanka

Found herself a Yorkshire banker

Need a visa? Got wth a geezer

Need some money?

Paid him with her knees up

Year later, started to ease up

Got her own way, shouted out, "See ya"

She skipped away to the shop

She found she didn't have enough

She clocked him looking right at her

And sucked on a lollipop

She skipped away to the shop

She found she didn't have enough

She clocked him looking right at her

And sucked on a lollipop
