MY FATHER’S TOP DRAWER
As a child I was blessed with a curious mind
And a sleepy, incompetent nurse!
One day I discovered my father’s top drawer,
Where I found my old man was perverse!
Cho: It’s a wonder I turned out as well as I did
I’m not nearly as warped as before
I’m not sick, God forbid! I was only a kid,
Who grew up in his father’s top drawer!
Devices and diagrams, naked toy dolls,
There were magazines and pictures and cards!
And a pen with a lady, when turned upside-down
Who discarded her black leotards!
Chorus: It was scary to find what my Dad had on his mind!
And the feelings that came over me!
I tried hard to stay calm, but how could I tell Mom,
His disease was hereditary!!
Chorus: It’s a wonder I turned out as well as I did
Readjustment is really a chore!
I found Pandora’s box there, under his socks,
When I opened my father’s top drawer!
A hotwater bottle with buttocks and breasts,
An amazing assortment of smut
That pornography there under his underwear
Got me into this sexual rut!
Chorus: I grew older and brought home all my friends,
We’d sneak in and spend long afternoons!
And I never got caught, though I think my Dad knew
I was selling them his long white balloons!!
Chorus: It’s a wonder I turned out as well as I did
Now I’m older and I know the score!
I’ve got kids of my own, who’ll be pure when they’re grown,
'Cause there’s a lock on their father’s top drawer!!
