The G in the verse pattern is not really played by the guitar, only by the bass. So the strumming pattern is:

He love your sexy body,    he loves your dirty mind

Oh baby, you're such a pretty thing

I can't wait to introduce you to the other members of my gang
    
You don't need no wax job, you're smooth enough for me
If you need your oil changed I'll do it for you free
    
Oh baby, the pleasure be all mine
If you let me drive your pickup truck and park it where the sun don't shine
    
Every time he touches you his hair stands up on end
His legs begin to quiver and his mind begins to bend
    
Oh baby, you're such a tasty treat
But I'm under doctor's orders, I'm afraid to overeat
    
He love your sense of humor, your disposition too
There's absolutely nothing that he don't love about you
    
Oh baby, I'm on my hands and knees
Life would be so simple if I only had you to please

Oh baby, turn around and say goodbye
You're going to the airport now and I'm going home and cry
