Philomena |
| Oh Philomena, you in a tawdry gown |
| Lean to your window, let slip a ribbon down |
| And cure to your boredom |
| If only you’d let me go down |
| Down, down |
| Long summer days can lead to lazy vices |
| Boys all in idle, left to their own devices |
| Open up your linen lap |
| And let me go down |
| Down, down |
| All that I wanted in the world |
| Was just to live to see a naked girl |
| But I found I quickly bored |
| I wanted more, I wanted more |
| So I’ll be your candle and I’ll be your statuette |
| And I’ll be your lashing loop of leatherette |
| Oh Philomena, if only you’d let me go down |
| Down, down |
| All that I wanted in the world |
| Was just to live to see a naked girl |
| But I found, I quickly bored |
| I wanted more, oh, so much more |
| So I’ll be your candle and I’ll be your statuette |
| And I’ll be your lashing loop of leatherette |
| Oh Philomena, if only you’d let me go down |
| Down, down |
| Go down, down down |
| Go down, go down |
