Verse 1
G Em Am D
Oh, Philomena, you in a tawdry-gown
G Em Am D
Lean to your window, let's slip a ribbon down
G Em Am D
A cure to your boredom, if only you'd let me go
Em D
Down, down down
G Em Am D
Long summer days can lead to lazy vices
G Em Am D
Boys all at idle, left to their own devices
G Em Am D
Open up your linen lap and let me go
Em D
Down, down down

G Em Am D
So I'll be your candle and I'll be your statuette
G Em Am D
I'll be your lashing loop of leatherette, and
G Em Am D
Oh, Philomena, if only you'd let me go

Down, down down
