Lyrics
She's a prime-rib girl in a Big Mac world
Tryin' to make her way
All the boys around her say she'll be the death of them some day
She can't get by on sparkling wine
She needs real champagne
Some people call her precious
But I can think of better names
Sweet Merlot
You know it's such a shame
Don't you know
The world is not to blame
Can't you tell there is a higher force
So quit your yap and shut your trap
And get off your damn high horse
She'll pull you in for some mortal sin
With her casual smile
She'll chew you up and spit you out
Like a ten foot crocodile
You're bound to fail, 'cause it's a classic tale
Of princess and the pea
And watch out where you put that pea
She'll put you in the infirmary
Sweet merlot,
You know it's such a shame
Don't you know
The world is not to blame
Can't you tell
There is a higher force
So quit your yap and shut your trap and get off your damn high horse
Don't take too long to get real tired
Of her overconfident sass
She keeps on givin' me her lip
I'm gonna stick my foot in her ear
While you're sittin' on your pedestal
Livin' a life of ease
I'll be in the back of my trans-am
With my jeans below my knees
Sweet Merlot
You know it's such a shame
Don't you know
The world is not to blame
Can't you tell
There is a higher force
So quit your yap and shut your trap
And get off your damn high horse
