Half cocked
Of would be lovers
The good book says
The sin begins inside the head
If naughty thoughts can lead to hell
do the deed, you might as well
Chastity won't save you when you
Leave this world behind
So fill your boots up while you're here
I'm sure your god won't mind
Cast off the vestal virgin gown
those pearly gates are locked
If you let the pious hold you down
You'll go to hell half cocked!
