Lyrics

10 Dollar

Mota pappti
Roti sutala
Enne patillian
Kaasu ennala
Kadaki ponala
Kassu patulaya
Kadakarna patu
Kan-addicala

Chinna girl was a little girl from a town
That's all you need to know
Lolita was a man eater
Clocked him like a taxi meter
Fuck gold, she was a platinum digger
Shakin' ass making moves on a mover
Visa, then a plane ride to ya
Peace, she'll kill you like uma

She skipped away to the shop
She found she didn't have enough
She clocked him looking right at her
And sucked on a lollipop

She skipped away to the shop
She found she didn't have enough
She clocked him looking right at her
And sucked on a lollipop

Hey, what now?
Chinna girl grew up to be a big girl
Had her sights set on a bigger world
Dial a bride from Sri Lanka
Found herself a Yorkshire banker
Need a visa? Got wth a geezer
Need some money?
Paid him with her knees up
Year later, started to ease up
Got her own way, shouted out, "See ya"

She skipped away to the shop
She found she didn't have enough
She clocked him looking right at her
And sucked on a lollipop

She skipped away to the shop
She found she didn't have enough
She clocked him looking right at her
And sucked on a lollipop

Yeah, what can I get for 10 dollar?
Everything you want
Yeah, what can I get for 10 dollar?
Anything you want

Yeah, what can I get for 10 dollar?
Everything you want
Yeah, what can I get for 10 dollar?
Anything you want

Yeah, what can I get for 10 dollar?
Anything you want
Yeah, what can I get for 10 dollar?
Anything you want

Yeah, what can I get for 10 dollar?
Anything you want
Yeah, what can I get for 10 dollar?
Anything you want
