About Here Come the Girls

"Here Come the Girls" is a song written by Allen Toussaint and originally recorded by Ernie K-Doe and released in 1970. It failed to chart at that time. In 2007 the Boots pharmacy chain used the song for two separate television commercials (August 2007; summer 2008). This led to the song re-charting (at #43 for five weeks in the UK; and #48 in 2007 in Ireland and again at #89 for two weeks in 2008). It was this advertisement which the Sugababes heard and subsequently interpolated. After August 2008 it was the Sugababes cover which was used in the Boots advertisements. In 2008 the Sugababes' version reached No. 3 in the UK and No. 12 in Ireland, and was certified silver by the BPI. In 2017, Trombone Shorty covered the song.

Here come the girls (girls, girls, girls-girls)
Here come the girls (girls, girls, girls-girls)

Looking so good, it's a darn god shame, that they couldn't all be mine
Looking so pretty, it's a darn god pretty, oh, you're looking so fine (fine)

Look out, blood, let me get further, little closer to the one I love
Anything better than the opposite sex, they must-a kept it up above

Here come the girls (girls, girls, girls-girls)
Here come the girls (girls, girls, girls-girls)

I can live without coffee, I can live without tea
And I'm livid about the honeybee
I'm not a fillet steak
I can leave or take
But the girls are part of me

And oh, water
I don't need no lemonade
But to live without girls
I can't live without girls
It's like a man with a hole in his head

Here come the girls
Here come the girls
Here come the girls (girls, girls, girls-girls)
Here come the girls (girls, girls, girls-girls)

Bored out of my head (hey)
While the foxes do their thing (hoo-hoo-hoo)
You make me feel so good inside
I got to jump up and say (aah)

Naa, naa, naa, naa
Naa, naa, naa naa
Naa, naa, naa, naa
Naa-naa-nana-na
Naa, naa, naa, naa
Naa, naa-nana, na
Naa, naa, naa, naa
Naa-naa-nana-na

Ooh-ooh
I'm not saying I could live on love alone
Ooh-ooh
That's the only thing that turn me on
Ooh-ooh
I was born to be free, just once
Freedom of choice rang that bell
Give all the girls to me

Here come the girls
(Girls, girls, girls)
Here come the girls
(Girls, girls, girls)
Here come the girls
(Ooh, water)
Here come the girls
(I don't need no lemonade)
Here come the girls
(Girls)
Here come the girls
Here come the girls
Here come the girls
