The Hots For The Smarts
I like a girl in satin Who talks dirty in Latin A girl who's flirty When she quotes Krishnamurti If she likes to be goosed While reciting from Proust I'll know she's my kind of creature Among her delectables Her intellectables Must be her sexiest feature CHORUS I've got The Hots For The Smarts The Hots For The Smarts IQ off the charts Give me brains over hearts I've got The Hots For The Smarts I like a girl from Mensa With a furrowed brow When the tenses get denser She gets it - and how! I need a polymath Called Cindy or Cath Who likes her Plato not too platonic An autodidact Letras de cancionesWho can add and subtract While sipping her Tolstoy and tonic I need a girl with a feel For Faraday's wheel A girl who'll drool For Fleming's Left Hand Rule Now you may like pin-ups Of girls who do chin-ups Like Xena the Warrior Princess But I'll take to dinner My Nobel Prize winner With plutonium stains down her dress I like a girl who knows loadsa Kierkegaard and Spinoza Who likes to play chess Humming Porgy and Bess She must be able From her logarithmic table To find all those decimal places And what do I care That she's nothing to wear And her teeth are imprisoned in braces I want a girl with a brain The size of Siberia With a haughty disdain Of all things inferior I don't want a learner With a Bunsen burner She must be the finished article Who sees our attraction As chemical reaction And charm as merely a particle I want a PHD Who reads Linear 'B' Who applies her lotion With a Brownian motion Now some men may favour A girl who's a raver A tease or a saucy young minx But I'll get undressed with The girl I'm impressed with Who's tunnelling under the Sphinx From Letras Mania
