Verse 1

A rainy afternoon  
Spent in the warmest room  
She lay before me and said
"Yes it's true that I have seen some naked men"   
As she made for the door  
Leaving me on the floor  
I wish I'd done biology
For an urge within me wanted to do it then   

Chorus

And here she comes again
And I'm sitting on my hands
And she sings to me that siren song
Here she comes again and I'm biting my lip
But it won't be long   

Verse 2

As Brother Barry said   
as he married Marion   
The wife has three great attributes, Intelligence, a Swiss Army
knife and charm   
But that's not enough some times   
And she did speak her mind   
And told them all that she believed
The only way to disarm is to disarm   

Bridge

I know people whose Idea of fun
Is throwing stones in the river in the afternoon sun
Oh let me be as free as them
Don't let her pass this way again

Verse 3

Though you cannot be blamed,  
but I've become inflamed   
With thoughts of lust and thoughts of power
thoughts of love and thoughts of Chairman Mao   
We have such little time   
at your place or mine   
I can't wait till we take our blood tests
Oh baby, let's take our blood tests now

Chorus

And here she comes again
And I'm sitting on my hands
And she sings to me that siren song
Here she comes again and I'm biting my lip and I'll take a chip
But it won't be long   

Outro

It won't be long
