Girls
The Moments & The Whatnauts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girls I like them fat, I like them tall
Some skinny, some small
I got to get to know them all

Girls I like them fat, I like them tall
Some skinny, some small
I got to get to know them all
Girls love the things they know
Love the things they show
Have to be where they go
Pretty girls the sunshine in the air
The perfume that they wear
Girls are everywhere

I like to be on an island
With five or six of them fine ones
With one to be in good looking
And one to do best cooking
Give me one with a lot of money
Give me two with a lots of honey
Give me three to do freaky things
Give me four or five more that like to swing

Superfine mighty fine
Sugar and spice and everything nice

I like to be a magician
Then I could start wishing
I'd take a magic wand and poof I'd have me fun
If the guys could see me they'd swear I was Houdini
Before they'd count from 1, 2, 3
I'd have ten girls sitting next to me

Superfine mighty fine
Sugar and spice and everything nice

I like to be a magician
Then I could start wishing
I'd take a magic wand and poof I'd have me fun
If the guys could see me they'd swear I was Houdini




Before they'd count from 1, 2, 3
I'd have ten girls sitting next to me

I just love the atmosphere that this music brings back from an era when I was the happiest in my life. I'm now 62years old I could cry how this makes me feel

@HarryFlowerrs

You know what used to make me cry?
The fact that people hate The Moments and would gladly stomp on their heads and kill them purely and simply because they have a different colour skin!
Lynched,castrated,pulled apart by horses,all manner barbaric shit at the hands of the so called ‘Master Race’!
Over 400 years of persecution yet We produced sheer genius under extreme circumstances!
I’ll await the Clowns........🤡🤡🤡

@longboardwoddy

same feeling ! such a great time, but we have the memories !!!!!!

@elmaro1609

Yes you are right! I feel the same…
