Testo Philomena

Testo Philomena

Oh, Philomena
Are you in a tawdry gown
Lean to your window
Let slip a ribbon down
A cure to your boredom
If only you'd let me go
Down, down down
Long summer days can lead to lazy vices
Boys all at idle, 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 bore, 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
And oh Philomena, if only you'll 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 bore, 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
And oh Philomena, if only you'll let me go
Down, down down, go down, down down, we go down
