The Odalisque

The Odalisque is righteous, the Odalisque is grace

cnd if you're lucky you may catch her lying

Upon a feather bed and with loving in her eyes

But be sure to never let her catch you crying

For she'll feed you morphine sweet

cnd fresh apricots to eat

But never seek to find what she keeps hidden

For the Odalisque is wild and the Odalisque is free

cnd prying eyes are forcibly forbidden

For the Odalisque I would rob my mother blind

cnd break the harp that guides St Peter's choir

cnd for the Odalisque I would turn on all my friends

Walk naked through the devil's dreadful fire

cnd she'll feed you morphine sweet

cnd fresh apricots to eat

But conduct your business fairly and most honestly

For the Odalisque is wild and the Odalisque is free

Displease her and she'll cast you out most heartlessly
