We know God made trees
And the birds and the bees
And seas for the fishes to swim in
We are also aware
That he has quite a flair
for creating exceptional women.
When Eve said to Adam
“Start calling me Madam”
The world became far more exciting
Which turns to confusion
The modern delusion
That sex is a question of lighting.
For female allure
Whether pure or impure
Has seldom reported a failure
As I know and you know
From Venus to Juno
Right down to La Dame aux Camélias.
This glamour, it seems,
Is the substance of dreams
To the most imperceptive perceiver
The Serpent of Nile
Could achieve with a smile
Far quicker results than Geneva.
Though we all might enjoy
Seeing Helen of Troy
As a gay, cabaret entertainer
I doubt that she could
Be one quarter as good
As our legendary, lovely Marlene.
