Your sympathy is my simple joy
Your bosom my mobile home
Free from the thunder that tore me asunder
I have you as my own
And I hold you over rolling on the floor
Naked you say this is the way
Let’s sing an’ dance some more
And there’s love sore love in your eyes
There’s rest love rest for me your lonely boy
Rosey cheeks an’ ruby lips fade with every sigh
Dance in the middle an’ flee from the ghetto
An’ tango thigh to thigh
And please dare show bare your need to me again
This is the way redeem the day
An’ daily pull me in
