The Luckiest Citizen |
| Come to the veranda |
| We can drink to the view |
| Take off that apron let me |
| Look at you |
| Raise a glass for me |
| I love your steady hand |
| Those slender fingers are |
| The measure of a man |
| My love is total, what’s more I’m all love |
| And like the greatest states I’ll stand or fall by love |
| Every dictator |
| Requires his golden mean |
| He roots his hard extremities |
| In the softness in between |
| And if you deserve my love |
| Until the empire falls |
| You’ll be the luckiest citizen of all |
| Forget the salesman and |
| Forget the boy you bore him |
| Since you met me it dawned |
| You never did adore him |
| Before they dragged you down |
| I plucked you out |
| And in my bed you’ll learn |
| What life’s about |
| My love is total |
| What’s more I’m all love |
| And like my government |
| I’ll stand or fall by love |
| I’ll think of your head |
| When I give statesmanship |
| I’ll ply the great orator’s art |
| When you part those seductive lips |
| Keep rising in my estimation |
| Till the empire falls and stay |
| The luckiest citizen of all |
| Your lack of insubordination’s |
| Grating on my patience dear |
| A little malice wouldn’t go amiss |
| The father of the nation gets his |
| Kicks and inspiration from |
| A revolution not domestic bliss |
| Don’t think of leaving me |
| You’ve left it rather late |
| You know too much now to escape the state |
| While away my evening with |
| Your tempting empty dance |
| Flaunt your single asset while |
| You’ve still the chance |
| My love is total |
| What’s more I’m all love |
| Like all forgers of alliances |
| I’ll stand or fall by love |
| Some sexual democrat |
| Has got you tangled but |
| Lie down flat in front of me |
| And I’ll show you all three angles |
| Stay eager and spread-eagled |
| Until the empire falls |
| You’ll be the luckiest citizen of all |
| Sometimes they make me melancholy |
| Waiting on my beck and call |
| Pragmatic pretty women all for me |
| It’s only commonsensical |
| Magnetic magic menstrual |
| My Mata Hari meritocracy |
