The Masochism Tango

Music: Tom Lehrer I ache for the touch of your lips, dear But much more for the touch of your whips, dear You can raise welts Like nobody else As we dance to the Masochism Tango
Let our love is a flame, not an ember Say it's me that you want to dismember Blacken my eye Set fire to my tie As we dance to the Masochism Tango
At your command Before you here I stand My heart is in my hand-(Err) It's here that I must be My heart entreats Just hear those savage beats And go put on your cleats And come and trample me Your heart is hard as stone or mahogany That's why I'm in such exquisite agony My soul is on fire It's a flame with desire Which is why I perspire when we tango
You caught my nose In your left castanet, love I can feel the pain yet, love Every time I hear drums And I envy the rose That at your teeth you still clench, love When I try something French, love All I got was a thorn
Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches The last time I needed twenty stitches To sew up the gash You made with your lash As we dance to the Masochism Tango
Bash in my brain And make me scream with pain Then kick me once again And say we'll never part I know too well I'm underneath your spell So darling if you smell Something burning, it's my heart Take your cigarette from it's holder And burn your initials in my shoulder Fracture my spine And swear that you're mine- As we dance to the Masochism Tango
