Heading over to the east side
that's where my boy lives
He might be checkin' out the thrift store girls
and I've got a little present to give

He'll charm your socks off
You'll be a star
riding in the back of his American car
Italian shades and Cuban cigar
Stealing forty hearts at Alibaba's bazaar

I've got a special potion
that will cure his head
Make him forget about the thousand and one
other women that he's taken to bed

They're are the airport
the coffee bar
Riding in the back of his American car
I can't believe he'd go so far
Selling off our hearts at Alibaba's bazaar

My baby opened the front door
told me to come on in
I gave him something that he'll never forget
cause he's never gonna see me again

He took one taste and
begged me for more
I felt just like a princess as he fell to the floor
I can't believe I'd go so far
Selling off his stuff
at Alibaba's bazaar

I'll blow your socks off
you'll be a star
Riding in the trunk of my American car
Italian shades and Cuban cigar
Stealing forty hearts at
Alibaba's bazaar
