Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Desdemona, just because
You're the daughter of a man
He may be rich, he's in a ditch
He does not understand
Just a-how to move or rock and roll
To the conventions of the young
[Verse 2]
Desdemona (D-D-D-Desdemona)
Desdemona (D-D-D-Desdemona)
Desdemona (D-D-D-Desdemona)
Lift up your skirt and fly
[Verse 3]
Just because my friend and I
Got a juke joint by the Seine
Does not mean I'm past 14
And cannot play the game
Oh, I'm glad I've split and got a pad
On Boulevard Rue 14
[Verse 4]
Desdemona (D-D-D-Desdemona)
Desdemona (D-D-D-Desdemona)
Desdemona (D-D-D-Desdemona)
Lift up your skirt and fly
[Verse 5]
Just because Toulouse-Lautrec
Painted some chick in the rude
Don't give you the right to steal my night
And leave me naked in the nude
Well, just because the touch of your hand
Can turn me on just like a stick
[Verse 6]
Desdemona (D-D-D-Desdemona)
Desdemona (D-D-D-Desdemona)
Desdemona (D-D-D-Desdemona)
Desdemona (D-D-D-Desdemona)
Desdemona (D-D-D-Desdemona)
Lift up your skirt and speak
