she may be skinny but she's got plenty,

the kind of love that sets my soul on fire,

Skinnie Minnie, man, that gal can love.

her hair hangs down like a rag mop,

she makes my heart go flippedy-flop.

the things she knows, she didn't read in books,

Skinnie Minnie, man, that gal can love.

When me and Minnie walk down the street,

all the boys stop and stare,

but if they knew just what I do,

you bet your life they'd love her, too.

I tear the thing up, there's so much spark,

Skinnie Minnie, man, that gal can love.
