Pity the poor man, pity the sad man
Pity the green man who couldn't afford to orgy
Pity the policeman, pity the snow man
Pity the woman who couldn't afford to orgy

Say, Johnny, you're a little lonesome?
Oh, come on, big boy, let me show you
Mmm, don't you wanna big time?

Good for the postman, good for the con man
Good for the milkman, they can afford to orgy
Good for the butcher, good for the astronaut
Good for the curate, they can afford to orgy

Come on, honey, keep breaking my heart
Oh, you're breaking my heart

If it's a problem getting together
Leave it alone, it's the easiest way
Great while it lasts, but it don't last forever
Nothing like living real dangerously

Oh, come on, give yourself a break
Oh, don't worry, baby, you'll get over it
Mm, you'll get over it

Sorry to hear it, sorry to see it
Sorry to mention I couldn't afford to orgy
Seems such a bother, one thing, another
Tempting and teasing just for an orgy

Oh, no, you have to take a chance
Ah, you've gotta give me one chance anyway
Mm, you can sure do it
Ah, mm, c'mon mmm
