Black Velveteen, simple and clean, oh, what a bad machine
Black Velveteen, supple and lean, the 21st century dream
Ready to please, free from disease, she's waiting on her knees
It's not a sin, titanium skin, just take her for a spin
Black Velveteen, simple and clean, oh, what a bad machine
Black Velveteen, supple and lean, the 21st century dream
Nice piece of kit, electronic clit, just sit down for a fit
Ready to trip, a guaranteed hit, she's all you ever wished
Black Velveteen don't give a damn she'll do dishes
Black Velveteen knows all the night spots in France
Black Velveteen's cat smells like strawberry kittens
Black Velveteen always is ready to dance, she's ready to
Black Velveteen, simple and clean, oh, what a bad machine
Black Velveteen, supple and lean, the 21st century dream
Black Velveteen don't give a damn she'll do dishes
Black Velveteen knows all the night spots in France
Black Velveteen's cat smells like strawberry kittens
Black Velveteen always is ready to dance (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh ho), she's ready to
Black Velveteen don't give a damn she'll do dishes
Black Velveteen knows all the night spots in France
Black Velveteen's cat smells like strawberry kittens (oh, yeah, yeah, oh, oh, ho)
Black Velveteen always is ready to dance (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, oh, ho), she's ready to
Black Velveteen, simple and clean, oh, what a bad machine
Black Velveteen, supple and lean, the 21st century dream
