My midlife crisis at 42,
I want to **** everything female that moves;
my wife has gone frumpy, grumpy and cold,
and I want rumpy-pumpy before I get old...
My teenage years were oh so dull:
I was obedient, I was so dumb;
now it's high time that I made up for lost fun!
My daughter's school-friends are turning me on,
I'm dreaming of pinafore skirts and pom-poms.
One in particular gives me the hots:
her name is Suzy, she's a real sex-pot.
So one rainy Thursday, the wife's in the bath,
I invite Suzy to walk up the path.
I put Careless Whisper on the new stereo,
turned all the lights way down low...
. . .
Because I felt guilty I went to the shrink,
I sat on his couch and told him all that I think:
“my youthful potential has gone down the drain, I've got sex on the
brain,I wanna drink pink champagne and eat bacon butties in bed with
Brazilian babes half my age, but instead I'm the slave of my dumpy old
wife, growing spinach for kicks when I wanna be scratching the
seven-year-itch with columbian chicks and binging on pick-'n'-mix”
“It's your mid-life crisis” the head-shrinker coo'd,
“I know, I'm having one too...
A mid-life crisis can be fun when you get over your dad and yourmum:
no inhibitions, you are number one!
So let's go out for some, let's both go out for some FUN!..”
We went to the strip club down by the zoo,
who on earth do you think I bumped into??
In stockings and bowler, doing her thing
with a wild metrosexual boo-boo-be-doo?
Holy moly, it's my wife!
I didn't know that you were like that!
maybe after all you are my type!!
Now we get invited to all the best shows
with our new lady companion in tow.
Her name is Isis, she comes from Chang Mai:
a sweet double Pisces with a glint in the eye.
The crisis is over, till the next one;
meanwhile be good and have fun!
