Lyrics

There I stood in her doorway so boldly
And I whispered a pleasure she'd miss!
Though at first she refused very coldly
How long can a lady resist?
How long can a lady resist?
I said "No!", he said "Please!"
I said "No!", he said "Please!"
I said "No!", he said "Please, pretty baby!"
I said "No!", he said "Why?"
I said "No!", he said "Why?"
I said "No!", he said "Try!"
I said "Maybe!"
He said "Now?", I said "Well!"
He said "Ah, this is swell"
And you'll never know how much it will mean
So at last, confess!
I said "Yes-yes-yes-yes-yes!"
That's how I subscribed to Liberty magazine!
I subscribed to the magazine
And fell in love with the guy
But he didn't dig me, he had no eyes
And now I really got to try
He said "No!", I said "Please!"
He said "No!", I said "Please!"
He said "No!", I said "Please, come on baby!"
He said "No!", I said "Why?"
He said "No!", I said "Why?"
He said "No!", I said "Try!"
He said "Maybe!"
He said "Now?", I said "Well!"
He said "Ah, this is swell"
And the moonlight in his eyes, was sublime
So at last, confess!
He said "Yes-yes-yes-yes-yes!"
That's how I subscribed to Esquire
And a Rogan and Stagger, Cavalier, Field and Stream, now let me see oh yes, I forgot one
That's how I subscribed to Playboy magazine...
