[Verse:]
2
Oh, Philomena, are you in a tawdry gown
3
Lean to your window, let slip a ribbon down
4
A cure to your boredom, if only you'll let me go
5
Down, down down
6
Long sunny days can lead to lazy vices
7
Boys all at idle, left to their own devices
8
Open up your linen lap and let me go
9
Down, down down
10
[Chorus:]
11
All I ever wanted in the world was just to live to see a naked girl
12
But I found I've quickly bored, I wanted more, I wanted more
13
[Verse 2:]
14
So I'll be your candle and I'll be your statuette
15
I'll be your lash and loop of leather and dark
16
Philomena, if only you'll let me go
17
Down, down down
18
[Chorus:]
19
All I ever wanted in the world was just to live to see a naked girl
20
But I found I've quickly bored, I wanted more, oh, so much more
21
[Verse 2:]
22
So I'll be your candle and I'll be your statuette
23
I'll be your lash and loop of leather and dark
24
Philomena, if only you'll let me go
25
Down, down down
