Lyrics

Well Some people try to pick up girls and get called assholes This never happened to Pablo Picasso He could walk down your street and girls could not resist to stare, and so Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole Well, the girls would turn the color of the Avocado when he would drive down their street in his El Dorado He could walk down your street and girls could not resist to stare Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole Not like you Alright Well, he was only 5'3", but girls could not resist the stare Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole Not in New York Oh, well, schmuck be not, schmuck be not obnoxious Be not bell-bottom bummer or asshole Remember the story of Pablo Picasso He could walk down your street and girls could not resist to stare Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole Alright, this is it Well, some people try to pick up girls, and they get called an asshole This never happened to Pablo Picasso He could walk down your street and girls could not resist to stare, and so Pablo Picasso was never called Ah, ah Uh, ah, ah, ah
