She's so fine
How about a 9 on a 10 scale
With long legs
Straight on up to her lunch pail

Sweet little wishbone, oh yeah
Don't wanna break her in half
Lick up one side and down the other
Always makes her laugh

She take me down, down, down to the bottom
I got everything you wanted
Give you everything you need
Still you want that sugar daddy over me?

She want a sucker, sucker in a 3 piece
A sucker all dressed up in a 3 piece suit

I'm on fire with just one look
Got me a brand new number
In my little black book
But she don't like the way I dress
She don't like the way I wear my hair
But when I roll you over baby, you don't care

Just take me down, down, down, down to the bottom
Give me everything I want
Give me everything I want

You don't want that sugar daddy, not over me
She want a sucker, sucker in a 3 piece
A sucker all dressed up in a 3 piece suit

Oh say it isn't so, baby
You wanna sucker
He just a sucker
He just a sucker
Look at all that money, baby
Ya know your sugar daddy
You're a sugar mama
You're both a bunch of suckers

Oh he got a big ole belly
A stone bald head
Now, listen here, honey
That ain't down your alley, no
He's just a sucker in a 3 piece
Sucker in a 3 piece suit
Sucker
Stone cold, sugar daddy
Sucker all dressed up in a 3 piece suit

Van Halen is one of the most iconic American rock bands of all time. Formed in Pasadena, California in 1972, the group’s primary line-up consisted of Eddie Van Halen on guitar, Alex Van Halen on drums, David Lee Roth providing lead vocals, and Michael Anthony providing bass duties and significant harmonies.

Their first six albums, recorded and released between 1977–1984, are considered to be classics and pioneering efforts in the field of hard rock. Eddie Van Halen’s groundbreaking guitar sound and techniques completely changed the landscape of music and radio culture in the 1980s. His and brother Alex’s virtuosity, along with David Lee Roth’s charisma and bassist Michael Anthony’s foundational contributions garnered the band early comparisons to their predecessors—Led Zeppelin—a group who had a profound influence on them. Though, even more so than Jimmy Page, Eddie cites Eric Clapton as having the biggest impact on his playing.

In 1977, after recording a demo with Gene Simmons (who wanted the band to change their name to “Daddy Longlegs”) they were introduced to KISS‘ management, who told Simmons they wouldn’t sign them
