Jill Sobule is a singer/songwriter with a flair for lyrics and arrangments. Her self-titled debut is out on Lava/Atlantic. I recommend it highly! Here's her first single off the album, also playing as a music video right now.

I KISSED A GIRL (Jill Sobule, Robin Eaton (c) 1994) reprinted without permission
VERSE:
Genny came over and told me about Fred
He's such a hairy behemoth she said
And dumb as a box of hammers
But he's such a handsome guy
And I opened up and told her about Larry
And yesterday how he asked me to marry
I'm not giving him an answer yet
I think I can do better
CHORUS:
So we laughed, compared notes
We had a drink, we had a smoke
She took off her overcoat
I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl
VERSE: So she called home to say she'd be late He said, he worried but now he'd feel safe I'm glad you're with your girlfriend, Tell her "Hi" for me So I looked at you, you had guilt in your eyes But it only lasted a little while And then I felt your hand upon my knee
CHORUS:
And we laughed at the world
They can have their diamonds
And we'll have our pearls
I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl
BRIDGE:
I kissed a girl, her lips were sweet
She was just like kissing me
I kissed a girl, won't change the world
But I'm so glad
I kissed a girl
(GUITAR SOLO)
And we laughed at the world They can have their diamonds And we'll have our pearls I kissed a girl (for the first time) I kissed a girl (and I may do it again) I kissed a girl I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl, her lips were sweet She was just like kissing me (but better) I kissed a girl
I kissed a girl, won't change the world But I'm so glad I kissed a girl (for the first time) I kissed a girl (won't be the last time) I kissed a girl I kissed a girl
