Jodie wears a hat although it hasn't rained for six days
She says a girl needs a gun these days
Hey on account of those rattlesnakes
On account of those rattlesnakes
She looks like Eve Marie Saint
In on the waterfront
She reads Simone de Beauvoir
in her American circumstance
She's less than sure if her heart has come -- to stay in San Jose
And her neverborn child haunts her now
As she speeds down the freeway
As she tries her luck with the traffic police
Out of boredom more than spite
She never finds no trouble, she tries too hard
She's oblivious despite herself
Hey
She looks like Eve Marie Saint
In on the waterfront, she says
All she needs is therapy
All you need is love, is all you need
Ahh-ah
Jodie never sleeps cause there are always needles in the hay - hay
She says a girl needs a gun these days
Hey on account of the rattlesnakes
Hey on account of the rattlesnakes
She looks like Eve Marie Saint In on the waterfront
As she reads Simone de Beauvoir
In her American circumstance
Her heart's like crazy paving
Upside down and back to front, she says
Ooh, it's so hard to love when
Love was your great disappointment
Oooh
Account of those rattlesnakes
She says a girl needs a gun these days, hey
Uh uh uh uh mmmhmmm
She says a girl needs a gun these days, hey
On account of the rattlesnakes
Hey on account of those rattlesnakes
