now that a wide mouth
Cleopatra gave a service with a smile
she was a wide mouthed girl
a wide mouthed girl
Cleopatra did a hundred(100) Roman
Centurions
for after dinner mints
Cleopatra used a suction oh so unheard of
she was a wide mouthed girl
a wide mouthed girl (believe it)
show me a bigger mouth
show me a bigger mouth
show me a bigger mouth
show me a bigger mouth
what a weak distorted image
Elizabeth and Richard gave you the screen
of the wide mouthed girl
wide mouthed girl
