The last straw Her only good parts are between her thighs She should stare at the ceiling, not reach for the skies Or she could be his last w____ The evidence suggests She has other interests If it's her who's using him He's exceptionally dim B____! Dangerous Jade! ARISTOCRATS We have allowed ourselves to slip We have completely lost our grip We have declined to an all-time low Tarts have become the set to know EVA (on the air) I'm only a radio star with just one weekly show But speaking as one of the people I want you to know We are tired of the decline of Argentina with no sign of A government able to give us the things we deserve ARMY It's no crime for officers to do as they please As long as they're discreet and keep clear of disease We ignore, we disregard But once they allow a bit on the side To move to the center where she's not qualified We are forced be on our guard She should get into her head She should not get out of bed She should know that she's not paid To be loud but to be laid S___!
