Desdemona just  because
 You're the  daughter of a man
 He may  be rich he's  in a ditch
 He does  not understand
 Just-a  how to move or rock  and roll
 To the conventions  of the young
Desdemona,  Desdemona, Desdemona
 Desdemona, Desdemona, Desdemona
Lift  up your skirt and fly
Just  because my friend  and I
 Got a juke  joint by the Seine
Does  not mean I'm past  fourteen
 And cannot  play the game
 I'm glad  I split and got  a pad
 On Boulevard  Rue Fourteen
Desdemona,  Desdemona, Desdemona
 Desdemona, Desdemona, Desdemona
Lift  up your skirt and fly
Just  because Toulouse  Lautrec
 Painted some  chick in the rude
 Don't give  you the right
 To steal  my night
 And leave me naked  in the nude
 Well just  because the touch  of your hand
 Can turn me on  just like a stick
Desdemona,  Desdemona, Desdemona
 Desdemona, Desdemona, Desdemona
Lift  up your skirt and speak
