	I've got a bitter pot of je ne sais quoi
	Guess what? I'm stirring it with a monkey's paw
	Since I saw you coming out of my barber's shop
	In that skimpy little halter top
	Did you light the candles? Did you put on 'Kind of Blue'?
	Did you use that Ivy League voodoo on him, too?
	He thinks he'll be alright but he doesn't know for sure
	Like every other unindicted co conspirator
	Mata Hari had a house in France
	Where she worked on all her secret plans
	Men were falling for her sight unseen
	She was a genius
	There's a face in every window of the Songwriters' Neighborhood
	Everybody's your best friend when you're doing well, I mean good
	The poet who lived next door when you were young and poor
	Grew up to be a backstabbing entrepreneur
	Albert Einstein was a ladies' man
	While he was working on his universal plan
	He was making out like Charlie Sheen
	He was a genius
	When you dropped me and you staked your claim
	On a V.I.P. who could make your name
	You latched on to him and I became
	Minor inconvenience
	Your protÃ©gÃ© don't care about art
	I'm the one, who always told you, you were smart
	You broke my heart into smithereens
	And that took genius
	You and the barber make a handsome pair
	Guess what? I never liked the way he cut your hair
	I didn't like the way he turned your head
	But there's nothing I can do or say I haven't done or said
	Everybody needs a place to stand
	And a method for their schemes and scams
	If I could only get my record clean
	I'd be a genius

	I' ve got a bitter pot of je ne sais quoi
	Guess what? I' m stirring it with a monkey' s paw
	Since I saw you coming out of my barber' s shop
	In that skimpy little halter top
