            G                  C
She had the face of a Picasso, body of a Dali
D                         G
Leather shoes and Jackson Pollack tattoos
          G                                   C
She said, "What's your sign?"; I gave her the typical line
           D
'Bout some Neo-Classic Post-Romantic Modernist stuff

                  G        C
    Well she's an Art Babe
    D                     G
    Dressed in black from head to toe
             G        C
    She's an Art Babe
    D
    Got to attend every opening show

We spent two hours together in the back of the lounge
Talking 'bout things that were oh so profound
She said, "Really deep"; I said "I did it last week"
I was in love with an aesthetic geek

    Well she's an Art Babe
    Doesn't believe in any artifice
    She's an Art Babe
    Got an earring pinned to every orifice

        Am
        Art Babe come here and give me the news
        G
        Tell me what's hot 'cause I've got no clues
        Am
        You seem to know just 'bout everything
                  D
        You're my docent of love in our ethereal fling

Art Babe and me didn't make it too well
There were too many rumors for her to quell
About the ignorant guy who never read Dostoevsky
Who spent his spare time down at the Bay on a jet ski

    G              C
    Art Babe... oh Art Babe don't leave me
    D                                       G
    I didn't mean what I said about Cubism!
    G              C
    Art Babe... oh Art Babe don't leave me
    D                                       G
    How am I gonna decorate my living room?
