Shell pest strip late last night,
In the light,

With your little nipples protruding through your little

And I want you to step, baby,

Nobody will ever know,
Come on, Magdalena!
Please, little girl,
Walk back to your daddy,
What did I do that was so wrong?
My God, I was only following the sexual impulse like I heard on
the Johnny Carson Show from a book or something I wrote,

I got carried away
What can I say like, like...
Walk back, baby,
