Venus in the Morning

Lyrics

Oh, Venus jumped Jack She smiled and lowered her guard All of that over barbecue Saturday night in her backyard

She revealed all she had To Jack's burning glance She couldn't refuse She kicked off her shoes She was ready for romance

Oh, Venus in the morning Half dead from the night before Said goodbye to her sweetheart When he threw her on the floor Wild-eyed with love he shouted

To which she just replied This may be your cup of tea It's none of mine

She salvaged from the table An ice bag and a red piece of meat Grace holds them up in front of Venus On the lake beside the stable They cover her politely

From all indelicate eyes While fish are dancing With the hopes of glancing A soapy pink surprise

Years may pass and change the way We feel about each other One thing Venus knows One always needs a lover

They sound a little dirty But some of her pretty maiden smiles And some of her heartfelt caresses Attract the men from many miles They'd all be glad to take a chance And explain to her why

But, for the moment She prefers to share her charms With two or three at a time
