Imelda

She's going shopping for shoes

She wants them in magenta and Caribbean blue

Platinum and buttercup, lilac and black

They fill a bucket up and laugh behind her back

Imelda babe Imelda babe what to do

All the poor people saying that they gotta quit paying for you

In New York and Paris on the Champs Elysée

They see her coming from a long way

They clap their hands together when they get her in their store

She's gonna wanna get more more more and more and more

Imelda babe Imelda babe what to do

All the poor people saying that they gotta quit paying for you

Everyone's gone Jackie O

She was a regular here

We thought madame would like to know

We've got the blood red rouge right here

Now we've got all of madame's requisites and all in madame's size

Madame's taste is truly exquisite, she must accessorize

The belts are alligator, the bags are kangaroo

Enchanté may I say the jade was made for you

Imelda babe Imelda babe what to do

All the poor people saying that they gotta quit paying for you

Imelda babe Imelda babe what to do

All the poor people saying that they gotta quit paying for you
