E                 C#m
It started at the age of four
My mother went to the grocery store
Went sneaking through her bedroom door
To find something in a size four

 A                  B
Sugar and spice and everything
Nice wasn't made for only girls Gi Joe
In panty hose is making room
For the one and only

Chorus:
 E               C#m
King for a day, princess by dawn
King for a day in a leather thong
King for a day, princess by dawn
A                       B
Just wait 'til all the guys get a load of me

My daddy threw me in therapy
He thinks I'm not a real man
Who put the drag in the drag queen?
Don't knock it until you tried it

Sugar and spice and everything
Nice wasn't made for only girls Gi Joe
In panty hose is making room
for the one and only

Chorus

Sugar and spice and everything
Nice wasn't made for only girls Gi Joe
In panty hose is making room
for the one and only

Chorus:
King for a day, princess by dawn
King for a day in a leather thong
King for a day, princess by dawn
King for a day in a leather thong
King for a day, princess by dawn
King for a day in a leather thong
King for a day, princess by dawn
Just wait 'til all the guys
Just wait 'til all the guys
Just wait 'til all the guys get a load of me
