[Chorus]
He's so dull, drives a '63 Rambler
He's so dull, still living with his mother
He's so dull, and he won't get anywhere with me

[Verse 1]
He's always calling on the telephone
He won't go out without a chaperone
'Cause he's so afraid to be alone with me
He's always reading science magazines
And he doesn't even wear blue jeans
Why can't he understand what all this means to me

[Chorus]
He's so dull, drives a '63 Rambler
He's so dull, still living with his mother
He's so dull, and he won't get anywhere with me

[Verse 2]
He watches television night and day
He doesn't listen to a word I say
And he's always trying to walk me home from school
I'd like to tell him that I wish he was dead (drop dead!)
But he could never get it through his head
He'll never change, he'll always be a fool

[Chorus]
He's so dull, drives a '63 Rambler
He's so dull, still living with his mother
He's so dull, and he won't get anywhere with me (won't get anywhere, won't get anywhere)

[Outro]
He's so dull
He's so dull
He's so dull
He's so dull
He's so dull (still living with his mother)
He's so dull (bet he never had a lover)
He's so dull (and he won't get anywhere with me)
He's so dull
He's so dull (still living with his mother, bet he never had a lover)
And he won't get anywhere with me

Vanity 6

Vanity 6 were a short-lived female vocal trio that came out of Prince’s funk-rock empire and assembled in 1981. Vanity 6 were formed in Prince’s hometown of Minneapolis, where singer/actress Vanity (whose real name was Denise Matthews) got together with fellow singers Brenda Bennett and Susan Moonsie. Backed by The Time, Vanity 6 recorded their self-titled debut album, released in 1982 by Warner Bros. The single “Nasty Girl” became a major hit, and like Prince’s albums, Vanity 6 successfully bridged the gap between R&B/funk and rock/pop/new wave. Vanity 6’s first album was also their last; in late 1983, Vanity left the group and signed with Motown as a solo artist. Moonsie and Bennett, meanwhile, hooked up with singer Apollonia (another Prince disciple) and formed a new group called Apollonia 6.
