Overview
"Punk Rock Girl" was written by Cuomo in March of 1993 as a tribute to the band That Dog,[1] who previously wrote a song by the same title. Cuomo uploaded handwritten lyrics for the song in the early 2000s, but the song itself went unheard by fans until November 22, 2020, when it was sold as part of the digital compilation Alone IV: The Blue-Pinkerton Years.
Lyrics

And every day
I go to play
I pass her place
And sock her face
I said I get real down
With a punk rock girl
It's a punk rock world
And I'm a punk rocker
God gave me my Punk Rock Girl
He gave me my Punk Rock Girl
She ain't no bitch
If you don't get in her way
But if you get in her way
She can smack your face
'Cause god gave me
My punk rock girl
Like he gave Adam
His home girl Eve
God gave me my Punk Rock Girl
He gave me my Punk Rock Girl
Punk Rock
Punk Rock Girl
Punk Rock
She ain't no bitch
If you don't get in her way
But if you get in her way
She can smack your face
I said I get real down
With a punk rock girl
It's a punk rock world
And I'm a punk rocker
God gave me my Punk Rock Girl
He gave me my Punk Rock Girl
Punk Rock
Punk Rock Girl
