A son who is cursed with a harridan mother

Or a weak simpering father at best

Is raised to play out the timeless classical motives

Of filial love and incest

How does he

Speak to a

How does he speak to the prettiest girl

How does he

Talk to her

What does he say for an opening line

What does he say if he's shy

What do you do with your pragmatic passions

With your classically neurotic style

How do you deal with your vague self-comprehensions

What do you do when you lie

How do you

Speak to a

How do you speak to the prettiest girl

How do you speak to her

How do you dance on the head of a pin

When you're on the outside looking in

How do you

Speak to a

How do you speak to the prettiest girl

How do you

Speak to a

How do you speak to the prettiest girl

You just say - Hello, hello, hello Baby

(Reed, Fonfara)
