She Gclings with her knees, as she Dpleads for my tongue
But she Gcan't bare the sight of the Dsun
She claims there's Emplaces out west
where they still Clive by the gun
She Gscreams like a lynx when she Dcomes

With no Emvisible signs of remoCrce or decay
She must Gknow I'm too old to keep Dgoin' this way
