She Thinks She's Edith Head — They Might Be Giants

Back in High School I knew a girl Not too simple and not too kind We both grew up, but I heard she'd changed From a new wave fan to another kind

She think's she's Edith Head But you might know she's not The accent in her speech She didn't have growing up

She think's she's Edith Head Or Helen Girlie Brown Or some other cultural figure We don't know a lot about

It's been years since I moved away But at Christmas I come home And I saw her reflection In the window of a store

She was talking to herself Not too simple and not too kind I walked on by, it was complicated And it stuck in my mind

She think's she's Edith Head But you might know she's not The accent in her speech She didn't have growing up

The accent in her speech She didn't have growing up The accent in her speech She didn't have growing up

She think's she's Edith Head She think's she's Edith Head now She think's she's Edith Head She think's she's Edith Head now

She think's she's Edith Head She think's she's Edith Head now She think's she's Edith Head She think's she's Edith Head now
