Here's a young one
Hey, Rufus
How's the rain on the rhubarb?

You wanna go out with me?
(Yeah, I know we're out
 it's, like, a figure of speech)
All you need is a real girl guide
Give it up and come inside

Slip the leash
Shake it loose
Bite the peach
Suck the juice

What did you call me?
(ANGEL...)
What was that again?
(ANGEL...)

Ave gloriosa virginum regina         (Hail, glorious queen of virgins,
Vitis generosa, vite medicina         noble vine, elixir of life, resin of
Clemencie resina                      mercy.  Hail, abundant pool of
grace,
Ave copiosa gracie piscina            cleanse him of the filthy dregs of
the
Carnis maculosa mund'illum sentina    flesh in the basin of purification)
Mundicie cortina

Hey chicken
Is that your girl?
Bet she lays like a lump

What's your poison - lemonade?
Velveteen or a razor blade?
You wanna walk in the dark with me
To a place where no-one sees?

Kiss the glove
Pretty please
You wanna pray?
On your knees

What did you call me?
(ANGEL...)
Say it again
(ANGEL...)

Claritate radiosa, stella matutina,        (Morning star, radiant in
Brevitate legis glossa, perte lex divina    brightness, yourself a gloss
on
Irradiat doctrina                           the brevity of law, through
you
Venustate vernans rosa, sine culpe spina    the Divine Law illuminates
with
Caritate viscerosa, aurem hue inclina       its teaching.  O rose blooming
Serves ill'a ruina                          with inward love incline your
                                            ear hither and save him from
                                            destruction.)

Hey sailor
How's the steam in the stovepipe?
