Smart Girls

My name is Brian and I'm the man I write hit songs with a wave of my hand Songs of surf and sun and sand I make great music with my band Songs you dance to and songs of joy I'm the original Beach Boy (Everybody's gone surfin', surfin' USA) All the songs I used to write Talked about girls who weren't too bright Round, round, get around, I got around What I was lookin' for I never found But time moves on and I've seen the light Intelligent chicks are dynamite! (When I grow up to be a man) (Giddy-up, giddy-up, 409) Now some guys like the flashy types And some guys dig the ugly types I'm no different from the rest I love hips and legs and breasts But strictly on a higher plane What really turns me on's her brain
