Well, it's nighttime And the streetlights glow upon a nightmare, citywide When up walks the princess, a virginal beau With make-up so crudely applied And lo, he came a creeping like a great white shark Resplendent in his voguish attire And if she is the gunpowder he is the spark A really quite dishonourable squire And with one great rush there comes a big hot flush Tiptoeing up her chest and her cheeks And he's revelling in the sweet aroma of sin Because desperation reeks So beautiful boy, she's yours to destroy What's that in the distance? It's evil ahoy So beautiful boy, prepare to deploy Your lecherous demons. They're jumping for joy Now swing! And he's reeling her in With oodles of treacherous charm Wide-eyed, she's engulfed by his grin And eyes that scream, "Babe, I'll do you no harm" And she's shot down by his amorous gun She's blinded by the light of his teeth The seduction's accomplished before it's begun 'Cause here comes the rumbling, the rumbling beneath And here it comes. She succumbs to his movingly perverse techniques And with one little wink he goes to drink in the stink Because desperation reeks So beautiful boy, she's yours to destroy What's that in the distance? It's evil ahoy So beautiful boy, prepare to deploy Your lecherous demons. They're jumping for joy Slinking round the back, you are the greatest of your kind Snared her with your villainy, so smooth and refined Running around with the devil on your mind You scrumpled up your scruples boy and left them behind Here we go. Into the night And you're grooving like an amorous hound You soak her with gin then come a-rumbling in Because desperation, desperation, desperation Woah! Beautiful boy, she's yours to destroy What's that in the distance? It's evil ahoy So beautiful boy, prepare to deploy Your lecherous demons. They're jumping for joy Oh, you glamorous man. It's going to plan Your sweet little lamb act is nought but a sham So do your philandering just 'cause you can Because desperation, desperation, desperation reeks
