Verse 1:
E         Esus4  E       Esus4
 A small Jean Genie snuck off to the city
E          Esus4 E         Esus4
 Strung out on lasers and slash back blazers and
E          Esus4  E         Esus4
 Ate all your razors while pulling the waiters
E          Esus4  E         Esus4
 Talking 'bout Monroe and walking on Snow White
E         Esus4  E          Esus4
 New York's a go-go, and everything tastes nice
E         Esus4  E  Esus4
 Poor little Greenie
 E      Esus4 E
(Wooo hooo)
E  Esus4  E    Esus4
     ("Get back one")

He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls
B              Bb A
The Jean Genie, let yourself go

Verse 2:
E        Esus4   E         Esus4
Sits like a man, but he smiles like a reptile
   E           Esus4 E        Esus4
She loves him, she loves him, but just for a short while
   E           Esus4 E       Esus4
She'll scratch in the sand, won't let go his hand
  E           Esus4 E        Esus4
He says he's a beautician and sells you nutrition
   E           Esus4 E       Esus4
And keeps all your dead hair for making up underwear
E         Esus4  E  Esus4
 Poor little Greenie
 E    Esus4 E Esus4
(Wooo hooo)
