Desdemona just because
You’re the daughter of a man
He may be rich he’s in a ditch
He does not understand
Just how to move or rock and roll

Just because my friend and I
Got a juke joint by the Seine
Does not mean I’m past fourteen
And cannot play the game
I’m glad I split and got a pad
On Boulevard Rue Fourteen
Desdemona, Desdemona, Desdemona
Desdemona, Desdemona, Desdemona
Lift up your skirt and fly
Just because Toulouse Lautrec
Painted some chick in the rude
