She' going shopping for shoes. She wants them in Magenta and Caribbean blue. Platinum and buttercup lilac and black. They fill a bucket and laugh behind her back. Imelda baby Imelda baby what to do. All the poor people saying that they gotta quit paying for you.
In New York and Paris on the Champs Elysee. They see her coming from a long long way. They clap their hands together when they get her in the store. She's gonna wanna get more and more and more. Imelda baby Imelda baby what do do. All the poor people saying that they gotta quit paying for you.
Everyone's gone Jackie O. She was a regular here. We thought Madame would like to know. We've got the blood red rouge right here.
Now we've got all of Madame's requisites and all in Madame's size. Madame's taste is truly exquisite and must accessorise. The belts are alligator and bags are kangaroo. Enchante may I say the jade was made for you. Imelda baby Imelda baby what to do. All the poor people saying that gotta quit paying for you. Imelda baby Imelda baby what to do. All the poor people saying that they gotta quit paying for you.
