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")

The Jean Genie lives on his back
B                              A
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks (The Jean Genie)
B                                   A
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)
