Queen of the Savages
Stephin Merritt
My girl is the queen of the savages
She don't know the modern world and its ravages
Instead of money she's got yams and cabbages
She lives in a dome
I don't care if I never get home
My girl is the queen of the jungle folk
You should see the things we see when we smoke
We think all of life is a funny joke
She's sharp as a tack
I don't care if I never get back
My girl is the queen of ten villages
We live on the fruits of her pillages
She eats other queens, she's very religious
She doesn't use a fork
I don't think I'll go back to New York
