More impressive still
Are you sporting skills
Do i detect
Integrity and self-respect?
Cool
Now lose the dress, keep the shoes
So what you're saying could be true
All the world's a molecule
A little atom contained within
The thumbprint of a greater being
I wish i may i wish i might
And with any luck
I will tonight
But before we do
Come here you
Lose the dress, keep the shoes
Lose the dress, keep the shoes
Lose the dress
