Smarty, though I'm not quite as smart as you
I can teach you a thing or two, Smarty
Smarty, don'cha know you should hold me tight
Can'cha tell when you met the right pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-rty, yeah!

Oh! You think you know every star up above?
Oh that's all you know about
Still you're in need of a few lessons in love
I ain't tellin' you nothin' wrong

Smarty! Can't you see if you had a heart, ha ha
You could learn to be twice as smart, Smarty
Come here!

Ha ha, I told you I'd tickle you
Yeah! You know it all? Yeah
Yeah! I need her, yes I do 
Yeah!

Smarty! Can't you see if you had a heart
You could learn to be twice as smart, Smarty

Ohh! You tricky thing, you thought to trick me
Hey, hey, nix, nix
