- Ha!
- Dear Mr. and/or Mrs. Sender
- We're pleased to inform you that your application's been accepted
- Starting from the time you get this letter
- Your life will be one never-ending
- "Hope you're feeling better"
- You get your choice of an aesthetic
- Ah, ah, ah, ah
- We'll need to chop your clock off
- Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock
- It might not be what you expected
- Ohh-oh-oh
- There is no money back once you've been ripped off, ripped off, ripped off
- Today's a very special day
- Ohh-oh
- The boys'll murder for it, but what will the neighbors say?
- It leaves you feeling pretty hollow
- It might be nice to look at
- Don't forget you're stuck with it tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
- You're big enough to stop pretending
- You'll start to really show within a week or so
- So don't go saying it's just come to your attention
- Ohh-oh-oh
- You'll get more than you're asking for without the right protection
- Today's a very special day
- Ohh-oh
- And how you'd love to have a little thing with which to play
- But love won't get you very far, oh
- Today be still your beating heart
- You'll have to keep on feeding it tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
- Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
- Boys will be boys
- Will be boys will be boys
- Will be boys will be boys
- Will be girls
- With no warning, ah-ah
- Girls will be girls
- Will be guys
- Will be boys
- That don't cry
- Over toys
- That they use
- To beat girls
- They despise
- By the morning, oh
- They always said that sex would change you, change you, change you, change you
- No second thoughts, the knife is nearing
- You'll never hear the little pitter-patter, pitter-patter
- Of this little feat of engineering
- Ohh-oh-oh
- Of course I love you, and of course it's what's inside that matters
- But I think the whole charade is ending
- Ah, ah, ah
- It seems to me to be the only way to keep from getting
- Caught up in a long life of regretting
- The doctors said that once you get a taste for it you'll keep on cutting
- But while we happen to be here
- Ohh-oh
- Why don't you whisper all those sweet forevers in my ear
- Stiff upper lip in all this sorrow
- Hurry up and stick it in
- You never know when it will end tomorrow or tomorrow or tomorrow
- Tomorrow or tomorrow or tomorrow
- Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
- End tomorrow, end tomorrow, end tomorrow
- Ohh-oh
- They always said that sex would change you, change you, change you, change you
- Ha!
