FLESH FIT
The doctor told me, "Lad, the news is very bad,
You've got a case of terminal horniness,
But it should be okay if you treat it right away.
Otherwise it could be very dangerous."
So when I suddenly saw you all the doctor's words came true:
I'm suffering a hard-attack, and a cute infla-ma-tion.
Oh, I hope that you'll nurse me through this dire emergency,
Or I'll just die without your tender medication.
Baby, I'm having a flesh fit,
Could you help me out?
Maybe we could make our flesh fit,
Could you take me in?
Please don't give me no hard time
Not when it's as hard as mine
Baby, let's have a flesh fit:
Yours and mine.
And I feel one coming on, so can you save me from
The pangs of cruel and crippling frustration?
Please lay me on your bed, lubricate my fevered head,
Then give me bod-to-bod resuscitation.
Everybody has some cross to bear in life
Everybody has experienced the knife
Me, it's not so bad, I'll just keep being brave
Until this affliction puts me in the grave.
Some folks need their pills to rectify their ills
Others can be crippled, blind or mindless.
Junkies turn to dope, religion offers hope,
Me, I just need a little kindness.
Baby, I'm having a flesh fit,
Could you help me out?
Maybe we could make our flesh fit,
Could you take me in?
Please don't give me no hard time
Not when it's as hard as mine
Baby, let's have a flesh fit:
Yours and mine.
