She walks, she talks, she wiggles on her belly like a snake (She looks like a fake to me) (Let's go see her) (It costs too much) Hurry, hurry, hurry folks, come on and see Stella She shimmies, she shakes You'll crash and burn in the bumper cars at Jersey's steel pier You'll crack 'em up when you stand in front of all the crazy mirrors At first you'll be a chicken at the jackhammer ride But you'll do it with a girl sittin' right by your side Let's take your car and mess around at the park all day
