what a woman wants
hey baby, before you
buy me diamonds, remember
this: the best way
to prove your love
to me is to
tell me exactly where
you found those voluptuous
sumptuous, sexy chanterelles-exactly
where you found them
hey baby, before you
buy me pearls, consider
this: what really gets
me hot is a
big, bulbous king bolete
with a firm and
swollen stem, smooth skin,
solid flesh, oh baby
no fancy cars, no
flimsy lace, no chocolate
bars, no trips to
spain, baby, when you
want a kiss, remember
this: i want fungus
