Lyrics for '15: Somebody's Fetish

Everybody's somebody's fetish Whether grand dame or cutely coquettish Mainly like "Mame" or "No, No, Nanette"-ish Everybody's somebody's fetish Every persuasion has its adherents Whether you pitch or run interference If your forte is brains or appearance Every persuasion has its adherents Nothing's too strange for somebody's palate Some spank the maid and some wank the valet Some want to be struck down with a mallet Nothing's too strange for somebody's palate Everything is someone's perversion One finger in or total submersion Some need control and some want coercion Everybody's somebody's fetish And I, even I, with my wildebeest's face My eccentricities and my freedom from grace Even for me has Cupid found a place At last One man's poison is another man's meat Some go for inches and some go for feet Some want the music and some like the beat One man's poison is another man's meat Everyone tickles somebody's fancy From 23rd Street down to Delancey Whether by science or necromancy Nothing's so weird that nobody does it And I, who have wandered alone for so long On my little island, just like King Kong Here at the end, I have written this song For you
