Lyrics
The Finger

I met a girl she looks so good
I could not help but stare I thought she would
eventually like to meet the singer
She gave me the finger
that's what she done
She gave me the finger
and then she run
I thought I had an outside chance
to get myself into her pants
I went to the bar and I bought me a drink to bring her
She gave me the finger
that's what she done
she gave me the finger
and then she run
Then I got a record deal
had a big fat hit it wasn't long until
she asked if I had a song that I could sing her
I gave her the finger
that's what I done
I gave her the finger
and then she run
