The Luckiest Citizen

Come to the veranda, we can drink to the view
Take off that apron let me look at you
Raise a glass for me, I love your steady hand
Those slender fingers are the measure of a man

My love is total, what's more I'm all love
And like the greatest states, I'll stand or fall by love
Every dictator requires his golden mean
He roots his hard extremities in the softness in between
And if you deserve my love until the empire falls
You'll be the luckiest citizen of all

Forget the salesman and forget the boy you bore him
Since you met me it dawned you never did adore him
Before they dragged you down, I plucked you out
And in my bed you'll learn what life's about

My love is total, what's more I'm all love
And like my government, I'll stand or fall by love
I'll think of your head when I give statesmanship
I'll ply the great orator's art when you part those seductive lips
Keep rising in my estimation 'til the empire falls
And stay the luckiest citizen of all

Your lack of insubordination's grating on my patience dear
A little malice wouldn't go amiss
The father of the nation gets his kicks and inspiration
From a revolution not domestic bliss
From a revolution not domestic bliss

Don't think of leaving me, you've left it rather late
You know too much now to escape the state
While away my evening with your tempting empty dance
Flaunt your single asset while you've still the chance

My love is total, what's more I'm all love
Like all forgers of alliances, I'll stand or fall by love
Some sexual democrat has got you tangled
But lie down flat in front of me and I'll show you all three angles
Stay eager and spread-eagled until the empire falls
You'll be the luckiest citizen of all

Sometimes they make me melancholy waiting on my beck and call
Pragmatic pretty women all for me
It's only commonsensical, magnetic magic menstrual
My Mata Hari meritocracy
My Mata Hari meritocracy
My Mata Hari meritocracy
My Mata Hari meritocracy
