Smart Woman (In A Real Short Skirt) 

By: Jimmy Buffett, Marshall Chapman 

1988 

This song is about being in my 40's in the 80's. It seems I'm learing more than I'm forgetting. 

-- Spoken: 

"So I told her, ooh you got money of your own? Well, that gives me the urge to merge." 



Bimbo limbo is where I've been 

I know you know that it's wearing me thin 

The times are changing, and it's about time 

I'm rearrangin' all the guilt in my mind 



Chorus: 

I'm looking for a smart woman in a real short skirt 

Smart woman who knows how to flirt 

Smart woman got a mind of her own 

Smart woman that'll take me home 

Take me home 



I'm not your macho kind of guy 

But I can be so when I'm feeling shy 

Hey, baby, where'd you get your good looks 

Ooh, babe, I want to carry your books 



Chorus: 

I'm looking for a smart woman in a real short skirt 

Smart woman who knows how to flirt 

Smart woman got a mind of her own 

Smart woman that'll take me home 

Take me home 



Beauty and brains (beauty and brains) 

Best of both worlds (best of both worlds) 

Think I can change (think I can change) 

If you'll be my, be my, be my girl 



Chorus: 

I'm looking for a smart woman in a real short skirt 

Smart woman who knows how to flirt 

Smart woman got a mind of her own 

Smart woman that'll take me home 

Take me home 



Chorus: 

I'm looking for a smart woman in a real short skirt 

Smart woman who knows how to flirt 

Smart woman got a mind of her own 

Smart woman better take me home 

Take me home
