do | A |
they're so nice to have around | B |
they have a way of playing with | C |
the balls | D |
and looking at the cock very | E |
seriously | E |
turning it | F |
tweaking it | F |
examining each part | G |
as their long hair falls on | H |
your belly | E |
it's not the and sucking | I |
alone that reaches into a man | J |
and softens him it's the extras | K |
it's all the extras | K |
now it's raining tonight | L |
and there's nobody | E |
they are elsewhere | M |
examining things | N |
in new bedrooms | O |
in new moods | P |
or maybe in old | Q |
bedrooms | O |
anyhow it's raining tonight | L |
on hell of a dashing pouring | I |
rain | R |
very little to do | A |
I've read the newspaper | S |
paid the gas bill | T |
the electric co | U |
the phone bill | T |
it keeps raining | I |
they soften a man | J |
and then let him swim | V |
in his own juice | W |
I need an old fashioned | X |
at the door tonight | L |
closing her green umbrella | Y |
drops her green umbrella | Y |
drops of moonlit rain on her | S |
purse saying ' man | J |
can't you get better music | Z |
than that on your radio | U |
and turn up the heat ' | A2 |
it's always when a man's swollen | B2 |
with love and everything | I |
else | C2 |
that keeps raining | I |
splattering | I |
flooding | I |
rain | R |
good for the trees and the | Y |
grass and the air | M |
good for things that | D2 |
live alone | E2 |
I would give anything | I |
for a female's hand on me | E |
tonight | L |
they soften a man and | X |
then leave him | V |
listening to the rain | R |
