Lyrics[]
Frankie Lane, he was singing "Jezebel" I pinned an iron cross to my lapel I walked up to the tallest and the blondest girl I said, look, you don't know me now, but very soon you will So won't you let me see I said won't you let me see I said won't you let me see Your naked body Just dance me to the dark side of the gym Chances are I'll let you do most anything She said I know you're hungry, I can hear it in your voice And there are many parts of me to touch, you have your choice But no you cannot see She said no you cannot see She said no you cannot see My naked body So we're dancing close, the band is playing "Stardust" Balloons and paper streamers, they're floating down on us She said you've got a minute left to fall in love In solemn moments such as this I have put my trust And all my faith to see I said all my faith to see I said all my faith to see Her naked body
