you keep your pretty girls

chained inside the dungeon

and diamonds and pearls

you keep them a'coming

and give them all of your affection

you keep your naughty boys

locked inside the kitchen

and when they make a noise

a swish of your hand keeps them

screaming out for your affection

I don't know the why's and wherefores

and I don't what's wrong or right

I just know at night

you give them all of your affection

you keep your servants down

swinging from the gallows

and when they come round

you smile and you say "hello"

and give them all of your affection

you give them all of your affection

you give them all of your affection
