  • She love to party, have a good time
    She looks so hearty, feeling fine
    She loves to smoke, sometime shiftin' coke
    She'll be laughin' when there ain't no joke

    A pimper's paradise, that's all she was now
    A pimper's paradise, that's all she was
    A pimper's paradise, that's all she was now
    Pimper's paradise, that's all she was
    Every need got an ego to feed
    Every need got an ego to feed

    She loves to model up in the latest fashion (oo-bee doo-be doo)
    She's in the scramble and she moves with passion (oo-bee doo-be doo)
    She's getting high (ooh), trying to fly the sky (oo-bee doo-be doo)
    Eh, now she is bluesing when there ain't no blues

    Wooh, a pimper's paradise, that's all she was now
    A pimper's paradise, that's all she was, oh-ho-ho-ho-ho
    A pimper's paradise, that's all she was now
    A pimper's paradise, that's all she was

    Every need got an ego to feed
    Every need got an ego to feed

    Wooh, a pimper's paradise, that's all she was now, wo-oo-o-oo, wo-oh
    A pimper's paradise, that's all she was, well
    A pimper's paradise, I'm sorry for the victim now
    Oh, now soon their (pimper's paradise) soon their heads, soon their
    Soon their very heads will bow
    (Pimper's paradise) don't lose track, don't lose track of yourself, oh no
    (Pimper's paradise) don't be just a stock, a stock on the shelf
    Stock on the shelf, oh oh
    (Pimper's paradise) that's all she was now, woo Writer/s: BOB MARLEY
