Well, Cassie O'Grady was no Southern lady
D A
Despite all the media hype

They all loved to make her out like a sweet little devout
D A
All-American cheerleader type
A
But her mind was cattywampus, she was greedy, she was pompous

Strutting 'round with her nose in the air
E
She was a cold gold-digger tickling a hand trigger
(E)
