Circus Penis
sure ya jump through hoops for me ALL the time
and that's just fine & dandy 'cause I give you
true kisses more addictive than any candy you can think of
but not as addictive as Marlboro reds
'cause my kisses are nicotine free
but a three ring circus is never a bad thing
unless the elephants are sick and the tiger is in a dangerous
mood and the pretty sequined trapeze chics are on the rag
and the bag of stale popcorn can't make up for the look on
your girlfriend's face 'cause you misplaced the Snoopy boxers
she bought you for your birthday and now you probably won't
get laid so you're planning a raid of the trusty liquor cabinet
after she falls asleep
you LEAP over my wall in a single Tigger bounce
and announce your prowess to my operator
who tells you,"This number is no longer in service"
and the circus is cancelled
because the tent can't withstand the lashing winds
but when love sends you a bright purple and green and gold
invitation to the madness
no amount of catatonic sadness is excuse enough
to coolly decline
just to show how tough
you really aren't.
