lyrics

She's the Queen of England
She's a New York Jew
She's the Statue of Liberty
In jet black and blue
And she takes little children
And she dresses them up like sluts
And her German photographer
Takes fabulous shots
She likes graffiti and she adores the perverse
And the Viscount Linley could throw up in her purse
She's the enfant terrible

Her father was a pornographer
His wife caught him in bed
With two little angels
Both giving head
Her husband was a doctor
Who liked heroin
But unlike her mother
She'll never marry again
And the folks on Fifth Avenue
Think that she's cutting edge
While her teenage twins
Just ask what's in the fridge
She's the enfant terrible

And they offered six figures
At a fashion cartel
'Cause she's really together
And she knows how to sell
And her handsome young lover
She takes him round town
Though they've never had sex
He once slapped her around

She likes English accents
And chocolate desserts
She takes pills for her diet
And cheap cigarettes
And she is who she is
But much more and much less
A tiara on speed
Who knows how to dress
She's the enfant terrible
