Look at you, you disapprove like two fussy mothers
			     Gm          Dm
Who are you to criticize the habits of another

Did I rock the family boat by dining on the help

For everyone that comes along knocking on this door

Is not monstrous, it's just glorious, healthy appetite

And I want more, I want more

Should I be the little miss, and while away the hours

I think not, I'd rather hunt than cut up paper flowers

Thanks to you, things I do verge on the obscene

Dm					  Gm		  Dm
I wander through the streets at night and find a charming couple

Who fear that such an angel lost could find herself in trouble

They can't resist my trembling lip, my eyes so filled with tears

They rest my head upon their necks... aaah, oh dear
