World’s Greatest (Statutory Rapist) Lyrics

Little girls like me
Handsome famous singer
Oh, that's why I got you
Wrapped 'round my finger
I got a camera
Soon I'll be shootin' us
Oh, I like 'em young like
Jerry Lee Lewis

Girl, I'm so glad you came backstage
If anybody asks
Lie about your age!

Pay no attention to my friends
Smile, look into the lens
I'll record it
Just don't report it
Don't worry, I've done this before
I've got tapes stacked on the floor
I'm the greatest
Statutory rapist

Oh whoa, oh
Hasn't been long since
You played with your dolls
But grass on the field means
You can play ball
Battery's runnin'
All out of power
Oh, looks like I won't take
My golden shower
Don't tell the authorities my name
Now I gotta go
Sing at the Olympic Games

You're my princess, I'm your prince
I'll take one box of thin mints
I'll pay ya later
Ya' little jailbaiter
I guess it doesn't make much sense
I've created evidence
To show I'm the greatest
Statutory rapist

I believe I can get away with it
Oh whoa oh
Ho whoa oh
Yeah yeah yeah
Whoa yeah ah
Hoo

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
