Lyrics
Oh, Philomena, are you in a tawdry gown Lean to your window, let's slip a ribbon down If you're to devoid If only you'll let me go Down, down down Long sunny days can lead to lazy vices Boys all that I know, left to their own devices Open up your linen lap And let me go Down, down down All I ever 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 lash and loop of leather And dark Philomena, if only you'd let me go Down, down down All I ever 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 lash and loop of leather And dark Philomena, if only you'd let me go Down, down down Go down, down down Go down, go down
