Girls nowadays are so mercenary
They want your credentials up front
They measure up your artillery
And figure out if it’s you they want;
If you pass the first audition
You’ll be checked for a hair-trigger
Coming quick cuts out the sensation
And all the other things that really matter.

Before they’re ready to go
They all want to know
How long, how long
How long can you keep your head underwater?
Can you really belt it?
Or will the heat melt it?
How long, how long
How long can you keep your head underwater?

I’m in the middle of the groove
With one eye on the scoreboard
I’ve practised every move
And rehearsed every word;
She’s twitching to and fro
Says ‘Push a little harder
And make the honey flow’
And all the other things that really matter.

Before they’re ready to go
They all want to know
How long, how long
How long can you keep your head underwater?
Can you really belt it?
Or will the heat melt it?
How long, how long
How long can you keep your head underwater?

Roses, then a movie, and on to dinner
A perfect day full of sunshine
A day in the life together –
Say you’ll always be mine;
And I promise to give you
Shelter in stormy weather
And a heart that beats only for you
And all the other things that don’t matter.

Before they’re ready to go
They all want to know
How long, how long
How long can you keep your head underwater?
Can you really belt it?
Or will the heat melt it?
How long, how long
How long can you keep your head underwater?
