Days when men were boys
And ladies were girls.
When the blood was hot and fresh
Breasts stood with grace and passion.
Why should we not in ours too?
Why shy from what’s real and natural?
Didn’t men fight and plot
For the best in their beds
Girls the rich and powerful to net;
We need freedom we need fun.
Fun, fun and more fun!
Hidden fantasies and energies unwrap;
You feel a conquering guy for sure!
Down the dungeon of folly
The den of self-destruction
And web of bad friends
Never more to be real
No more of goals you laid for good self
May still sound unfair but that's life
Can't eat your cake and have it!
