Whip-smart Lyrics - Girlysound Tape 1 - Liz Phair

I'm gonna tell my son to grow up pretty as the grass is green 

And whip-smart as the English Channel's wide 

And I'm gonna tell my son to keep his money in his mattress 

And his watch on any hand between his thighs 

And I'm gonna lock my son up in a tower 

Till I write my whole life story on the back of his big brown eyes 

When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing 

When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing 

When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing 

When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing 

I'm gonna tell my son to join a circus so that death is cheap 

And games are just another way of life 

And I'm gonna tell my son to be a prophet of mistakes 

Because for every truth there are half a million lies 

And I'm gonna lock my son up in a tower 

Till he learns to let his hair down far enough to climb outside 

When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing 

When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing 

When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing 

When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing 

When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing 

When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing 

When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing 

When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing 

When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing 

When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing 

When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing 

When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing 

When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing 

When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing 

When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing 

When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing 

When they do the double dutch, that's them dancing
