The lyrics of “Dragon Lady”, the 14th track on the Germs' sole studio LP, are about Esther Wong.

A smile kept quite in reverie
The clock on the matle hands stop crossed
The rug on the floors a resting place for the dust
The talk of the town yet she's never been seen
A loving relation with a well trained machine
(Chorus)
Dragon Lady was written by Darby Crash & Pat Smear.
