The Luckiest Citizen - The Happy Family

Come to the veranda

We can drink to the view

Take off that apron let me

Look at you

Raise a glass for me

I love your steady hand

Those slender fingers are

The measure of a man

My love is total, what’s more I’m all love

And like the greatest states I’ll stand or fall by love

Every dictator

Requires his golden mean

He roots his hard extremities

In the softness in between

And if you deserve my love

Until the empire falls

You’ll be the luckiest citizen of all

Forget the salesman and

Forget the boy you bore him

Since you met me it dawned

You never did adore him

Before they dragged you down

I plucked you out

And in my bed you’ll learn

What life’s about

My love is total

What’s more I’m all love

And like my government

I’ll stand or fall by love

I’ll think of your head

When I give statesmanship

I’ll ply the great orator’s art

When you part those seductive lips

Keep rising in my estimation

Till the empire falls and stay

The luckiest citizen of all

Your lack of insubordination’s

Grating on my patience dear

A little malice wouldn’t go amiss

The father of the nation gets his

Kicks and inspiration from

A revolution not domestic bliss

Don’t think of leaving me

You’ve left it rather late

You know too much now to escape the state

While away my evening with

Your tempting empty dance

Flaunt your single asset while

You’ve still the chance

My love is total

What’s more I’m all love

Like all forgers of alliances

I’ll stand or fall by love

Some sexual democrat

Has got you tangled but

Lie down flat in front of me

And I’ll show you all three angles

Stay eager and spread-eagled

Until the empire falls

You’ll be the luckiest citizen of all

Sometimes they make me melancholy

Waiting on my beck and call

Pragmatic pretty women all for me

It’s only commonsensical

Magnetic magic menstrual

My Mata Hari meritocracy
