Temptation Song

1 When the small birds of the outer air
They sport with one another
Then why should me and you forbear
To sport all gay together?

Good music, sir, should make one dance
Unless their limbs would fail them
I fear your wear some damp must bear
Or surely you'd reveal them

Refr: With me ditheri I den da, doodle i den da, with me dither iden doodle dam o di dum

2. For naked we come on this earth
And naked we'll go under
So why wear hose and costly clothes
To hide the heights of wonder?

Great Adam when he first wed Eve
No rings they wore or diamonds
But naked they did sport and play
Around the horn of Hymen

(Flesh to flesh and fleece to fleece
And their numbers did increase
And did multiply and spread throughout each nation)

3. O maiden far beyond compare
Don't talk with tongue of fire
For holy writ shall never quit
To purge us of desire

And chastity the beacon bright
Does shine throughout the ages
To guard us on the darkest night
When the storms of passion rages

(So the narrow path I'll hold
Up to heaven's gate of gold
And resist the demons dark and their damnation)

4. If free will is a gift divine
For man's emancipation
Free love's a draft of Cupid's wine
To tease us with temptation

These laws and rules were made for fools
Each day they're growing stricter
So come with me, we'll sport in glee
Let Venus be the victor

(And if Bacchus lends a hand
We will riot through the land
And we'll fornicate with fervor and elation)

5. When David fell from God and grace
No armies did applaud him
And none was saved and not depraved
From the sinful City Sodom

And look then to storied Troy
What led to its destruction?
But vengeance for the crime of rape
And ravishing seduction

6. King Solomon that monarch wise
Wooed thrice three hundred lovers
He'd wives and queens and concubines
As the Scripture it uncovers

Let curving breast be your fond quest
And yield to female charm
And lie one long and lusty night
All naked in my arms

7 Begone, you slut, heaven is shut
To all such fornicators
To strumpets, streels and harlots all
Likewise abominators

Matrimony was God's command
And matrimonial station
And with these words the two withdrew
This was their conversation
