Steve Goodman - Wonderful World of Sex lyrics
[Steve Goodman - Wonderful World of Sex lyrics]
I could even teach it to my good dog, Ralph
I can learn to read you
Every book on the shelf
I could tell your fortune like
The Oracle of Delphi
I could learn to tell you
Every flower by it's color
I could even swim as
Fast as Johnny Weismuller
But, I never could learn to
Get along without you
Don't you run away from me, I sure dig sex
Do I love you? Is the Pope Catholic?
Do I need you? Is a rubber band elastic?
Do I want you? Is the atom bomb drastic?
Let's be heterosexually entwined
We fit like a Hong Kong suit, dear
I dig you more than I dig Root Beer
Peanut butter sandwiches are pretty neat
But when you get right down to
It you just can't compete with
Good old double S - E - double X is
Faster than Batman and bigger than Texas
And you're concave and I'm convex
Welcome to the world of sex
You can get love from your papa or your mama
You can get steam from a Turkish or a sauna
You can get hot from tortillas or lasagna
But, you get all three when
You make it with me
So
I can't remember the words to the verse
A short attention span is the mummy's curse
This song started out pretty good
I'll finish it someday (knock on wood)
Mike Smith'd be embarrassed if he knew
This is the one song of his I blew
You never know what's comin' off next
Do you, in the wonderful world of sex
