[Run]

I seen you jockin J.C. cause he got a Mercedes

And you know about his ladies, and all his babies

You just wanna ride, and get inside

And run around town, like Bonnie'n'Clyde

But see the moves you're makin, the route you're takin

Will lead to heartbreakin and I'm not mistaken

You like his money, you'll be his honey

Get the truth - no excuse - you're a great big dummy!

DUMB GIRL. DUMB GIRL!

[D.M.C.]

I wish I knew, why a girl like you

Wants to do all the things that you do

I know you want a man, but you should understand

That J.C. ain't D, you shouldn't be his fan

You're not this fine, you're out of your mind

And I wrote this rhyme just for your kind

Don't be misled, remember what I said

The rhymes of rappers surely knock some sense in your head

DUMB GIRL. DUMB GIRL!

[Run]

(NOW.) Now you're the flyest girl, in the whole school

But they don't call you fly - they call you fool

Because you don't go to class, you will not pass

You like to go but you should slow because you're goin too fast

And I can tell that you're dumb when you walk in the place

Walkin round with your thumb cold stuck in your face

You get high and tell a lie and think that makes you the ace

DUMB GIRL. (stupid!) THE GIRL IS.

[Run]

Now you're a stupid sex fiend, with no will power (POWER)

Hit four guys in the bathroom at your last baby shower

[D.M.C.]

All the guys call you fast (FAST) but I call you slow (SLOW)

Always sniffin or givin (GIVIN) somebody a blow (BLOW)

Givin every guy a try (TRY) at the wink of an eye (EYE)

There's somethin that you're missin, that money can't buy (BUY)

When it comes to love, you're even hated by Cupid (CUPID)

You're (silly) dilly (dumb) and you're JUST PLAIN STUPID!

DUMB GIRL. (stupid!) DUMB GIRL!

. The girl is .

[D.M.C.]

I hope you to listen to the words, that I speak

I'm not playin, what I'm sayin, can never be weak

You should use your brain, but you don't have one

And when it comes to sense you don't have none

YO YO you should know where I'm comin from

But you're just dumb (diddy) dumb (diddy diddy) DUMB DUMB!

[D] DUMB GIRL!

[R] Dumb with a capital D!

[D] DUMB GIRL!

[R] Stupid as can be, BREAKDOWN!

. The girl is .

DUMB GIRL! DUMB GIRL!

. The girl is dumb!
