Let me tell you about the girl that lives next door
She got drunk and easy and this girl hit the floor
She ain't got no one to help her on her way
The only love she gets is from men who have to pay
She's alright, she's ok, she's my local
She's alright, she gets paid by the locals
She smokes weed everyday, like the locals
She don't mind that I say, she's my local
You can tell her face has seen it all before
Living life's not easy but this girl knows the score
She's been up and down the streets so many times
Popping drugs like sweets to ease sickness in her mind
And I say...
She's alright, she's ok, she's my local
She's alright, she gets paid by the locals
She smokes weed everyday, like the locals
She don't mind that I say, she's my local
Alright now....
She's my local.....
So like all good stories this one has to end
But i would like very much to make this girl my friend
People judging what is right and what is wrong
Just leave the girl alone it's how she gets along
And I say...
She's alright, she's ok, she's my local
She's alright, she gets paid by the locals
She smokes weed everyday, like the locals
She don't mind that I say, she's my local
She's alright, she's ok
She's alright, she gets paid
She smokes weed everyday
She's alright, she's ok, she's my local
