  • I do my hair, I paint my nails
    It pours outside, it never fails
    So the makeup runs, down my pretty face
    I'm a muddy mess, a MAC disgrace

    But when I leave this room tonight
    I'm gonna look and feel alright
    'Cause my mama says the world's an oyster
    And I'm the pearl

    I'm a genuine American girl
    A bonafide beauty in an ugly world
    I'm a vision of pure femininity
    Yeah, I'm a genuine American girl
    From my ruby red lips to my bleached blonde curls
    I'm everything I hoped to be

    I look in the mirror and what do I see?
    That a modest little girl is looking back at me
    The boys all whistle when I walk by
    So I toss my hair and wink my eye

    And when I hit the floor tonight
    I'm gonna look and feel alright
    'Cause my mama says the world's an oyster
    And I'm the pearl

    I'm a genuine American girl
    I'm a rock and roll queen in a hip-hop world
    A vision of pure femininity
    Yeah, I'm a genuine American girl
    From my ruby red lips to my bleached blonde curls
    I'm everything I hoped to be

    You think it's vanity
    Or some insanity
    But this is no-man's land
    And I live here everyday

    So come and dance with me
    Come take a chance with me
    I'm only thirty out of fifty shades of grey
    What do you say?

    Hey there, big boy
    Why don't you come up and see me sometime

    And when we hit the floor tonight
    We're gonna look and feel alright
    'Cause my mama says the world's an oyster
    And I'm the pearl

    I'm a genuine American girl
    A bonafide beauty in an ugly world
    I'm a vision of pure femininity
    Yeah, I'm a genuine American girl
    From my ruby red lips to my bleached blonde curls
    I'm every He-Man's fantasy
    A feminine fatality
    You gotta know that I am
    Everything I want to be, oh yeah
    I'm everything I wanna be
    Uh-huh, oh yeah Writer/s: Alice Cooper, Bob Ezrin, Neal Smith
