97 Lovers

Ninety-seven lovers / twisted out of shape / and just one kiss / could set them straight / Ninety-seven lovers / twisted out of shape / and just one kiss / could set them straight / I know a woman / with a picture of Roger Moore / in a short towel and dressing-gown / pinned to her bedroom wall / She married a man / who works on a building site / Now they make love beneath Roger / every Friday night / Oh / Ninety-seven lovers / twisted out of shape / and just one kiss / could set them straight / Ninety-seven lovers / rose to meet the sun / and when the day was over / there were only ninety-one / Another I know / well, she laughs too loud with her friends / playing it safe on the surface / to give her heart time to mend / and then one day without warning / he walks unannounced through the door / and he picks her heart up off the table / and he watches it smash on the floor / Ninety-seven lovers / twisted out of shape / and just one kiss / could set them straight / Ninety-seven lovers / rose to meet the sun / and when the day was over / there were only ninety-one.
