Got your mother in a whirl
'Cause she's not sure if you're a boy or a girl
Hey, babe, your hairs alright
Hey, babe, let's stay out tonight
You like me, and I like it all
We like dancing, and we look divine
You know fans when they play it hard
They want more, and you want it fast
Put you down, say I'm wrong
You tacky thing, you put them on

Rebel Rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel Rebel, how could they know?
Hot tramp, I love you so!
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo

Got your mother in a whirl
'Cause she's not sure if you're a boy or a girl
Hey, babe, your hairs alright
Hey, babe, let's stay out tonight
You like me, and I like it all
We like dancing, and we look divine
You know fans when they play it hard
They want more, and you want it first
Put you down, say I'm wrong
You tacky thing, you put them on

Rebel Rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel Rebel, how could they know?
Hot tramp, I love you so!
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo

Rebel Rebel, you've torn your dress
Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess
Rebel Rebel, how could they know?
Hot tramp, I love you so!
Doo doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo

You've torn your dress, your face is a mess
You can't get enough, but enough ain't the test
You've got transmission and a live wire
Got your cue lines and a handful of ludes
You could be there when they count up the dues
And I love your dress
I love your dress
You're a juvenile success
Because your face is a mess
How could they know?
How could they know?
What you wanna know
Where'd you wanna go?
'Cause you've torn your dress
And your face is a mess
Ooo, ooo, your face is a mess
Ooo, ooo, so how could they know?
How could they know?
Etc...

Was not a fan of this when I've heard it passively, but just turned it up and actively listened; definitely enjoyed it much more. Try it - you might like it (more) ;)

Absolutely loved Rickie Lee when she first hit the scene in the late 70's.  So much talent and so much promise - what happened?

The guitar on this is Brian Setzer from Stray Cats. Nice!

Why can't people make their own original music instead of riding on the coattails of other creative people?
Out of respect for late David Bowie, I don't think this version should be played—seems too blasphemous.

The song gets a 9, Rickie gets a 2, which averages to the 5.5 rating on this track.  I'll give it a 5 (which means I wouldn't get up to change the station if it came back on) - and shout out to the album title "Traffic from Paradise."  Guessing Bill and Rebecca don't have as much of that to worry about

She sings it like she's on the ragged edge of passing out from too much booze.
