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
