singalong! i kissed a girl by jill sobule

Before Katy Perry became famous with a song about heteronormative lesbian action for the male gaze (sorry for the women's studies talk, but it's true), Jill Sobule wrote I Kissed a Girl, a song about two girls who maybe are learning they actually like each other.  You know Jill Sobule?  No?  She also wrote the song Supermodel from the Clueless soundtrack.  This is her next most famous song and it's the perfect little ditty of new discoveries.


I KISSED A GIRL
by Jill Sobule

Jenny came over and told me 'bout Brad
He's such a hairy behemoth she said
Dumb as a box of hammers
But he's such a handsome guy

And I opened up and I told her 'bout Larry
And yesterday how he asked me to marry
And I'm not giving him an answer yet
I think I can do better

So we laughed
Compared notes
We had a drink
We had a smoke
She took off her overcoat

I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl

She called home to say she'd be late
He said he'd worried but now he'd feel safe
I'm glad you're with your girlfriend
Tell her hi for me

And then I looked at you
You had guilt in your eyes
But it only lasted a little while
And then I felt your hand above my knee

And we laughed
At the world
They can have their diamonds
And we'll have our pearls

I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl

I kissed a girl, her lips were sweet
She was just like kissin' me
Kissed a girl won't change the world
But I'm so glad I kissed a girl

And we laughed
At the world
They can have their diamonds and
We'll have our pearls

I kissed a girl
For the first time
I kissed a girl
And I may do it again
I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl

I kissed a girl her lips were sweet
She was just like kissin' me
But yeah I kissed a girl
Kissed a girl won't change the world
But I'm so glad I kissed a girl

(For the first time)
I kissed a girl
(For the last time)
I kissed a girl!
