Mark Knopfler
Imelda
[Verse 1]
She's going shopping, shopping for shoes
She want 'em in magenta and Caribbean blue
Platinum and buttercup, lilac and black
They fill a bucket up and laugh behind her back

[Chorus]
Imelda baby
Imelda baby what to do
All the poor people saying that they gotta quit paying for you

[Verse 2]
In New York and Paris on the Champs-Élysées
They see her coming from a long way
Yeah they clap their hands together when they get her in their store
She's gonna wanna get more, more, more and more and more

[Chorus]
Imelda baby
Imelda baby what to do
All the poor people saying that they gotta quit paying for you

[Bridge]
Everyone's gone Jackie O
She was a regular here
We thought madame would like to know
We've got the blood-red rouge right here
[Verse 3]
Now we've got all of madame's requisites and all in madame's size
Madame's taste is truly exquisite she must accessorise
Yeah the belts are alligator, the bags are kangaroo
Enchantée, may I say the jade was made for you

[Chorus]
Imelda baby
Imelda baby what to do
All the poor people saying that they gotta quit paying for you
Yeah all the poor people saying, they gotta quit paying

[Chorus]
Imelda baby
Imelda baby what to do
All the poor people saying that they gotta quit paying for you
Yeah all the poor people saying that they gotta quit paying for you
Yeah
