Intro: verse 1: Oh, Philomena, you in a tawdry gown Lean to your window, let slip a ribbon down A cure to your boredom, if only you'll 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 bored, I wanted more, I wanted more verse 2: So I'll be your candle and I'll be your statuette I'll be your lash and loop of leather and dark 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 bored, I wanted more, oh so much more verse 2: So I'll be your candle and I'll be your statuette I'll be your lashing loop of leatherette Philomena, if only you'll let me go Down, down down Go down, down down Go down Go down
