Viagra, *1997

[Sildenafil citrate]
Written and sang by Max Raabe. It's from the album
"Ein Freund, ein guter Freund" [Un amigo, un buen amigo]

The virgin gives it to the boy because both then can enjoy
for wives it came in handy who had a droopy spouse.
Thus some life form long believed to be dead is revived by
Viagra
Doctors commit themselves to self-testing,
speculate that it facilitates blood circulation
Thus some life form long believed to be dead is revived by
Viagra
A stand-up reception will turn jolly once it is served as munchies,
every stable shudders when you put it in the animal fodder.
Thus some life form long believed to be dead is revived by
Viagra
Camilla Parker-Bowles always carries in her Rolls' a full roll
(Prince's Roll is a famous roll of cookies)
the back drawer of his desk,
that's where Bill Clinton keeps his stash.
But what effect on the receding brow if mixed with the pill,
it defies every norm rigid as Wellaform (hair spray)
only pointing into one direction
because it's doped and can't help it.
Why do I do this to myself, asks then the man.
I can tell you, between the two of us,
that in this world it depends on women
whether things rise or fall.
