'15: Somebody's Fetish |
Everybody’s somebody’s fetish |
Whether grand dame or cutely coquettish |
Mainly like Mame or «No, No, Nanette"-ish |
Everybody’s somebody’s fetish |
Every persuasion has its adherents |
Whether you pitch or run interference |
If you’re forte is brains or appearance |
Every persuasion has its adherents |
Nothing’s too strange for somebody’s palate |
Some spank the maid and some wank the valet |
Some want to be struck down with a mallet |
Nothing’s too strange for somebody’s palate |
Everything is somebody’s perversion |
One finger in or total submersion |
Some need control and some want coercion |
Everybody’s somebody’s fetish |
And I, even I, with my wildebeest’s face |
My eccentricities and my freedom from grace |
Even for me has Cupid found a place |
At last |
One man’s poison is another man’s meat |
Some go for inches and some go for feet |
Some want the music and some like the beat |
One man’s poison is another man’s meat |
Everyone is somebody’s fancy |
From 23rd Street down to Delancey |
Whether by science or necromancy |
Nothing’s so weird that nobody does it |
And I, who have wandered alone for so long |
On my little island just like King Kong |
Here at the end I have written a song |
For you |
