[Verse 1] She's a very kinky girl The kind you don't take home to mother She will never let your spirits down Once you get her off the street, ow, girl She likes the boys in the band She says that I'm her all-time favorite When I make my move to her room, it's the right time She's never hard to please, oh no
[Pre-Chorus] That girl is pretty wild now The girl's a super freak The kind of girl you read about In new-wave magazines That girl is pretty kinky The girl's a super freak I really love to taste her Every time we meet She's alright, she's alright That girl's alright with me, yeah Hey, hey, hey, hey
[Chorus] She's a super freak, super freak She's super freaky, yow Everybody sing Super freak, super freak
[Verse 2] She's a very special girl The kind of girl you want to know From her head down to her toenails Down to her feet, yeah And she'll wait for me at backstage with her girlfriends In a limousine Long and black and shining bright Three's not a crowd to her, she says (Ménage à trois, oui la la) "Room 714, I'll be waiting" When I get there she's got incense, wine and candles It's such a freaky scene
[Pre-Chorus] That girl is pretty kinky The girl's a super freak The kind of girl you read about In new-wave magazines That girl is pretty wild now The girl's a super freak I really like to taste her Every time we meet She's alright, she's alright That girl's alright with me, yeah Hey, hey, hey, hey
[Chorus] She's a super freak, super freak She's super freaky, yow
