[Verse 1: Bob Dylan]
He loves your sexy body, he loves your dirty mind
He loves when you hold him, grab him from behind
Oh baby, you're such a pretty thing
I can't wait to introduce you to the other members of my gang
[Verse 2: Bob Dylan]
You don't need no wax job, you're smooth enough for me
If you need your oil changed, I'll do it for you free
Oh baby, the pleasure would be all mine
If you let me drive your pickup truck and park it where the sun don't shine
[Verse 3: Bob Dylan]
Every time he touches you, his hair stands up on end
His legs begin to quiver and his mind begins to bend
Oh baby, you're such a tasty treat
But I'm under doctor's orders, I'm afraid to overeat
[Verse 4: Bob Dylan]
He love your sense of humor, disposition too
There's absolutely nothing that he don't love about you
Oh baby, I'm on my hands and knees
Life would be so simple if I only had you to please
Oh baby, turn around and say goodbye
You go to the airport now and I'm going home and cry
[Riff]
[Chorus: Tom Petty]
(He loves your) electric dumplings
(He loves your) red bell peppers
(He loves your) fuel injection
(He loves your) service charge
(He loves your) five-speed gearbox
(He loves your) long endurance
(He loves your) quest for junk food
(He loves your) big refrigerator
(He loves your) trembling wilbury
(He loves your) marble earrings
(He loves your) porky curtains
(He loves your) power steering
(He loves your) bottled water
(He loves your) parts and service
[Outro: George Harrison]
Dirty world, a dirty world, it's a -ing dirty world
He loves your sexy body, he loves your dirty mind
He loves when you hold him, grab him from behind
Oh baby, you're such a pretty thing
I can't wait to introduce you to the other members of my gang
[Verse 2: Bob Dylan]
You don't need no wax job, you're smooth enough for me
If you need your oil changed, I'll do it for you free
Oh baby, the pleasure would be all mine

[Verse 3: Bob Dylan]
Every time he touches you, his hair stands up on end
His legs begin to quiver and his mind begins to bend
Oh baby, you're such a tasty treat
