Lyrics for Memories

Frankie Laine, he was singing Jezebel I pinned an Iron Cross to my lapel I walked up to the tallest and the blondest girl I said, "Look, you don't know me now but very soon you will So, won't you let me see?" I said, "Won't you let me see?" I said, "Won't you let me see your naked body?" Just dance me to the dark side of the gym Chances are I'll let you do almost anything I know you're hungry, I can hear it in your voice And there are many parts of me to touch, you have your choice Ah, but no you cannot see She said, "No you cannot see" She said, "No you cannot see my naked body" So we're dancing close, the band is playing Stardust Balloons and paper streamers, they're floating down on us She says, "You've got a minute left to fall in love" In solemn moments such as this, I have put my trust And all my faith to see, I said, all my faith to see I said, all my faith to see her naked body Oh, oh, naked body, oh, oh, all my faith to see All my faith, oh, oh, all my faith Oh, oh, all my faith to see her naked body Her naked bo-bo-body And all my faith to see, I said, all, all my faith I said, all, all, all my faith to see All my faith to see her naked body
