Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All the streets are crammed with things eager to be held
I know what hands are for and I'd like to help myself
You ask me the time, but I sense something more
And I would like to give you what I think you're asking for
You handsome devil
Oh you handsome devil
[Verse 2]
Let me get my hands on your mammary glands
And let me get your head on the conjugal bed
I say, I say, I say
[Verse 3]
I crack the whip and you skip, but you deserve it
You deserve it, deserve it, deserve it
A boy in the bush is worth two in the hand
I think I can help you get through your exams
Oh you handsome devil
[Verse 4]
Oh let me get my hands on your mammary glands
And let me get your head on the conjugal bed
I say, I say, I say
[Verse 5]
I crack the whip and you skip, but you deserve it
You deserve it, deserve it, deserve it
And when we're in your scholarly room
Who will swallow whom?
And when we're in your scholarly room
Who will swallow whom?
You handsome devil
[Verse 6]
Oh let me get my hands on your mammary glands
And let me get your head on the conjugal bed
I say, I say, I say
[Verse 7]
There's more to life than books, you know, but not much more
Oh there's more to life than books, you know, but not much more
Not much more
Oh you handsome devil
Oh you handsome devil
