Lyrics (Original 1973)
Columbia:
It was great when it all began
I was a regular Frankie fan
But it was over when he had the plan
To start working on a muscle man
Now the only thing that gives me hope
Is my love of a certain dope
Rose tints my world
Keeps me safe from my trouble and pain
Rocky:
I'm just seven hours old
And truly beautiful to behold
Now, somebody should be told
My libido hasn't been controlled
Now the only thing I've come to trust
Is an orgasmic rush of lust
Rose tints my world
And keeps me safe from my trouble and pain
Brad:
It's beyond me, help me mommy
I'll be good, you'll see
Take this dream away
What this, let's see, I feel sexy
What's come over me?
Here it comes again
Janet:
I feel released
Bad times deceased
My confidence has increased
Reality is here
The game has been disbanded
My mind has been expanded
It's a gas that Frankie's landed
His lust is so sincere
