Sugar baby, precious heart,
Scrumptuous dish, you luscious tart,
Please ask me home to take a nap,
And keep me all day in your lap.
Be sure your porch is all locked up,
And don't go out and get knocked up.
Just stay at home, we'll make the news,
Performing nine successive screws.
So if you want me, tell me now,
I've lunched, my cock's a frikkin' ship's prow, see,
It's bursting through my clothes, and how!
