Capitol Hill boys that look like Capitol Hill girls
Capitol Hill girls that look like Capitol Hill boys
You came home like you were not there
You were not not there
I do not like that sort of thing, not at all
Capitol Hill boys that look like Capitol Hill girls
Capitol Hill girls that look like Capitol Hill boys (2x)
You have long hair, and yours is short
But coke is what both of you snort
Your pants are loose, your pants are tight
You both don't eat, and you're both white!
But I can't tell you apart
No, I can't tell you apart.
Capitol Hill boys that look like Capitol Hill girls
Capitol Hill girls that look like Capitol Hill boys (2x)
Are you Amy, or David, or Jamie
Or Seamus, or Lacy, or Hazel, or all of the above?
And I can't tell you apart
No, I can't tell you apart.
Are you Amy, or David, or Jamie
Or Seamus, or Lacy, or Hazel, or all of the above?
And I can't tell you apart
No, I can't tell you apart.
Capitol Hill boys that look like Capitol Hill girls
Capitol Hill girls that look like Capitol Hill boys (2x)
I love them all.
Capitol Hill boys that look like girls
Capitol Hill girls that look like boys
The Mexicans call a potato a papa,
But you can call me a potata (2x)
Because I'm a potata!
