Rebel Girl Lyrics

[Chorus]
Rebel girl, rebel girl
Rebel girl you are the queen of my world
Rebel girl, rebel girl
I know I wanna take you home, I wanna try on your clothes

[Outro]
Love you like a sister always
Soul sister, rebel girl
Come and be my best friend
Will you, rebel girl?
I really like you
I really wanna be
Your best friend
Be my rebel girl

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

Bikini Kill’s most iconic feminist anthem was recorded three times by the band–first on Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah, their split LP with UK comrades Huggy Bear (the version this page is based on), by Ms. Joan Jett for the band’s New Radio 7" , later compiled on the Kill Rock Stars anthology of the band’s 7" releases, The Singles , and finally, on their follow up LP Pussy Whipped

The song is thought to be inspired by feminist artist Juliana Luecking whose work greatly influenced the formation of the riot grrrl movement.
