Lyrics
Wonderful World Of Sex
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I could learn to understand Swahili by myself
I could even teach it to my good dog, Ralph
I could learn to read you every book up on the shelf
I could learn to tell your fortune like the oracle of Delphi
I could learn to tell you every flower by its color
I could learn to swim as fast as Johnny Weismuller
But I couldn't never learn to get along without you
Don't you run away from me, I sure dig sex
You can get love from your papa or your mama
You can get warm from a Turkish or a sauna
You can get hot from tortillas or lasagna
But you get all three when you neck with me
I really must confess it gets me in the solar plexus
When I think about the differences there are between the sexes
Peanut butter sandwiches are really neat
But when you get right down to it you can't compete with
Good old double S - E - double X is
Camper than batman, bigger than Texas
You're concave and I'm convex
Welcome to the world of sex
Do I love you, is the Pope Catholic?
Do I need you, is a rubber band elastic?
Do I want you, is the atom bomb drastic?
Let's us be heterosexually entwined, we fit like a tailored suit dear
I dig you more than I dig root beer
Green Giant peas need a big green pod
I spend a lot of time needing your bod
Walking around through fields of clover
Can't we lie down and talk things over?
You never know whats coming off next
In the wonderful world of sex
