Lyrics
Oh, Philomena, you in a tawdry gown Lean to your window, let slip a ribbon down A cure to your boredom, if only you'd let me go Down, down, down Long summer days can lead to lazy vices Boys all in idle, left to their own devices Open up your linen lap and let me go Down, down, down All I ever wanted in the world Was just to live to see a naked girl But I found I quickly bored I wanted more, I wanted more So I'll be your candle and I'll be your statuette And I'll be your lashing loop of leatherette And oh Philomena, if only you'd let me go Down, down, down All I ever wanted in the world Was just to live to see a naked girl But I found I quickly bored I wanted more, oh, so much more So I'll be your candle and I'll be your statuette And I'll be your lashing loop of leatherette And oh Philomena, if only you'd let me go Down, down, down Go down, down, down Go down, down, down To go down
