My Kindly Friend the Censor |
| Is in between your lips |
| You clasp my (crossed out plural) |
| With one hand on my hips |
| I feel your warm (unsuitable) |
| I’m about to (slang, taboo) |
| I love being (questionably phrased) |
| You clearly love it too |
| But there is someone standing over us, here for our own good |
| Who takes the words out of our mouths as we do the deed |
| He collects them in a bag with a peevish little sigh |
| In case innocents or grandmothers should somehow happen by |
| Oh our kindly friend the censor has our best interests at heart |
| But my love song is now missing all its most important parts |
| I give you (inadmissible) |
| You respond with (phrase removed) |
| I (cut) you then (blue-pencil) you |
| With (obscene: restricted use) |
| We (substitute a euphemism) |
| I (censored) in your (too obscene) |
| Finally (edit) on your (blank) |
| Just thinking of it makes me want to (criminal act) |
| But there is someone standing over me, here for my own good |
| He hands me back the words I need to sing about my deed |
| They are wrapped up like confetti in a small brown paper bag |
| With some non-transparent sellotape so you can’t peep through the cracks |
| Oh my kindly friend the censor I am shocked |
| When I open it and read 'vagina', 'penis', 'suck', 'cunt', 'cock' |
| Oh my kindly friend the censor, this cannot be what you mean |
| To distill the very essence of obscene? |
