You keep your pretty girls

locked inside the dungeon

And Diamonds and pearls

you keep them acoming

give them all of your affection

Verse 2

you keep your little boys

locked inside the kitchen

and when they make a noise

swish of your hand keeps them

screaming out for your affection

and I dont know

whys and wherefores

and I dont know

whats wrong or right

I just know at night

you give them all of your affection

Verse 3

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
