Eb6Smut! EbmGive me Smut and nothing Bbbut! C7A dirty novel I can't Cm7shut,
if it's un-F7cut! and un-Bb6subt--Bdim-------F7tle.Bb7  
EbI've never quibbled, Bb7if it was ribald,
I would de-vour, where Ebothers merely nibbled, 
As the G7judge remarked the day that he ac-Cmquitted my Aunt Hortense,
To be F7smut, it must be utterly with-Bb7out redeeming social importense.
Eb6Por - Ebmnographic pictures I a-Bbdore. 
C7Indecent magazines ga-Cm7lore,
I like them D7more, If they're hard-Gmcore!Bb7  
Eb(Spoken): Bring on the obscene movies, Emurals, pFostcards, neckties, F#samplers,
GStained glass Abwindows, tatooAs, anythinBbg!  Bb7More, More, I'm still not satisfied.
(Sung)EbStories of tortures, Bb7used by debauchers, lurid , licentious and Ebvile.
Bb7Make me Ebsmile.          Bb7         Eb         Bb7  EbNovels that pander to Bb7my taste for can-dor,
give me a pleasure suEbblime.  (spoken): Let's Bb7face it, I love Ebslime.
Eb7(Sung):All Abbooks can be indecent books though recent books are bolder,
For Ebfilth (I'm glad to say) is in the mind of the be-C7holder. 
FmWhen correctly viewed, DbEverything is lewd. 
(Spoken): I could F7tell you things about Peter Pan and the Bb7wizard of Oz, there's a dirty old man!

I've got a hobby: re-rEbeading Lady CHatterly.
But G7now they're trying to take it all a-Cmway from us unless we take a F7stand,
and hand in hand we fight for Bb7freedom of the press, In other words,
Eb6Smut!      EbmLike the adventures of a Bbslut. C7Oh I'm a market they can't Cm7glut.
