Clever girls like clever boys much more than clever boys like clever girls
You should have listened to what mama said
And walked away with someone else instead
You should have listened to what grandma said
And married someone more like Fred
You should have listened to your inner voice
While you had time and still a choice
You should have reached for the emergency brake
Before it was too late
You see the clever girl looks for a clever boy
To another extent than the clever boy
Will ever look for a mate
Who goes to round-table debates
And runs a little bit late
When she does work for the state
You see the clever girls look for the clever boys
And then the clever boys seem to have a different choice
They want a good-looking chick
That likes to blow them away
Someone who laughs at all the
Funny little things they say
I have a friend who's in this mensa club
He has no trouble to admit
He wants a woman with ambitions
That go as far as raising kids
You see the clever girl looks for a clever boy
To another extent than the clever boy
Will ever look for a mate
Who goes to round-table debates
And runs a little bit late
When she does work for the state
You see the clever girls look for the clever boys
And then the clever boys seem to have a different choice
They want a good-looking chick
That likes to blow them away
Someone who laughs at all the
Funny little things they say

Och när du lyssnat klart på låten tycker jag att du ska läsa det här blogginlägget av genusforskaren och historiken David Tjeder.
"Men Pelle Carlbergs sång pekar ändå på något slags kontinuitet. Kvinnlighet och bildning hänger inte ihop. För att vara attraktiv måste något annat till - i många mäns ögon."

och DET HÄR är så sant så att jag inte vet var jag ska ta vägen. jag tror jag rippar det här inlägget av dig. smarta killar som inte värderar smarheten lika mycket hos sina flickvänner och tycker att de kan ha det intelligenta samtalet någon annanstans (i sin smarta mansklubb typ) är överst på listan över saker som gör mig besviken.
