I'm one of the smart ones!
I got it all figured!
You won't find me
In one of them broken down flats
Commanding an army of brats
Not me
You won't catch me
Bent over and ready to scrub
Some grimy old ring in a tub
Not me!
Got it figured
Got it planned!
How's my future?
Grand!
You won't see me
Whenever the dinner is through
With mountains of dishes to do
Not me
That's for some dumb someone else
Not me
My Daddy used to tell me
When I was barely three
Or (Back in the old teepee,)
Lay down with the dog
And you wake up with the flea
Pick out the brave with wampum
All the rest is talk;
Only a brave with wampum
Buys a good tomahawk
Lovin' is like a horse race:
You'll have a valued hide
If you remain a filly
Only winners can ride
Daddy, I learned my lesson
Daddy, I'm cutting loose
Daddy, I'm gonna make you proud
Of this papoose
I'm one of the smart ones
I got it all figured
You won't find me
Tied down to some boozy old slob
Who's chronically out of a job
Not me!
You won't catch me
Uncapping a bottle or beer
And figuring Christmas is here
Not me!
Got it figured
Soon or late...
I'll be doing great!
Great! Great, great...
And when you see me
Hobnobbin' on top of the town
My emeralds weighin' me down
You'll cry
"There goes baby!
Ain't she flyin' high..."
