lyrics: Gary Hanak

Oh, I am just a scientist, a man of great renown
And when I go to town the dog packs follow me around
Because they know my work provides a bone for every hound
Oh, I am going to build myself a bimbo

Now, Frankenstein and Doc Moreaux, though not as bright as me,
Labored long and hard to build some hairy, great monstrosity
But why not have a little bit of fun with chemistry?
So, I am going to build myself a bimbo

(tune: Bette Davis Eyes)
 With Harlow's hair of gold               (C E- D)
 Her lips I'll match to size                  (C D  G)
 And for her outlook on the world     (C E- D)
 She'll have Bette Davis eyes             (C D  G)

(tune: Proud Mary)
     (F F . D .... F F . D .... F F . D . C . Bb . Bb . G Bb . C . G)
And when I get back from the city ("city")           (G     )
Workin' night and day, I might even beg                (G     )
I might look peculiar, but I'll have what I wanted   (G     )
'Cause I will have the set of Tina's legs                  (G     )

(tune: Hail to the Chief)
    (G ... C ... G ... A- . D7 . G ... C ... G . C . D7 . G . )
And if you think that her brain will just be wasted              (G         C         )
Just remember her brain will be somewhat small and stale (G        A-  D7  )
P–O–T–A–T–O–E is how she'll spell potato                         (G        C          )
That's the best that I can do with the brain of J Dan Quayle (G  C   D   G    )

(tune: The Rose)
And if you think that she's too homely               (G       D    )
I'll make sure she warbles like a wren               (C  D  G    )
And her throat will sing with a voice that only    (G       D    )
Could have come from the Divine Miss M        (C  D  G    )

     (G ... D ... C . D . G ... G ... D ... C . D . G ... )
Then I'll take a hand and stitch it on             (G       )
So that it's soft yet supple                            (D       )
Match the other to it and we'll                     (C       )
Then have quite a couple                             (G       )
I'll dance a little jig to my fiddle playin' gal    (G     D )
With the hands of Barbara Mandrel             (C D G )

(tune: The Stripper)
And at long last, when my work will be   (G    C          )
Done as far as I can see…                     (G    C  Cdim)

I'll be standing nose to nose with my Little Bimbo lass
And I will have my hands all over Brittney Spears young…

   I can't say that…

Oh, I am just a scientist, a man of great renown
And when I go to town the dog packs follow me around
Because the know my work provides a bone for every hound
Oh, I am going to build myself a bimbo
