lyrics

Viva Viagra
music: Doc Pomus, Mort Shuman
lyrics: Gary Hanak
TTO: Viva, Las Vegas


Jumpin' up and down on my old box spring
It feels just like I'm on fire
My woman thinks I'm crazy when I start to sing
Right now I could drown out a choir
It's been a long, long time since I have felt this way
No distractions now, I'm ready, come what may
Used to rush right in but now I do foreplay...
Viva, Viagra! Viva, Viagra!

I'll be the first to tell you, there's a price to pay
You don't get nothin' for free
But side effects or money won't get in my way
It just ain't that important to me
As bein' ready when I'm here alone with you
I don't care if my head hurts when I am through
I'm getting used to auras around everything that's blue
Viva, Viagra! Viva, Viagra!

bridge1:
Viva, Viagra! It's known I need assistance
If a Filk girl gets insistent
Hey, that's OK with me...yeah
Viva, Viagra! I got none in my pocket
Got lots more but it's locked up
She just has to talk my woman into giving up the key...

(...instrumental...)

Viva, Viagra! Viva, Viagra!

bridge2:
Viva, Viagra! It's known I need assistance
If the Filk girls get insistent
Hey, that's OK with me...
But Viva, Viagra! I've got none left in my pocket
I got lots more but it's locked up
They just have to talk my woman out of the key...
(spoken) "Yeah, like THAT'S gonna to happen anytime soon..."

Well, I was always willing, but the flesh was weak
It's hard when you don't know the score
Every time I tried to paddle, I'd be up a creek
Half the time, I'd misplaced my oar...
I could never carry on with gusto or elan
The best that I could ever do was "Wham, bam, thank you, ma'am"
But if I had a cape now, they would call me "Superman"
Viva, Viagra! Viva, Viagra!
Viva, Viva, Viagra!
