Lyrics:

I'm an old pervert and I hang around under the bridge
I'm an old pervert and I hang around under the bridge
I won't do you no harm, I just want to show you what's in my fridge
So come on little girl, is your name Hester or maybe it's Midge?

Well, they say that I'm weird and disinfectant is the only thing I drink
They say that I'm weird and disinfectant is the only thing I drink
But cleanliness of the soul is more important, don't you think?
And I could show you one or two things right there in my sink

So come on baby

I'm an old pervert and I don't get around much anymore
I'm an old pervert and I don't get around much anymore
Sometimes I feel it evaporating through the door
So come on baby let me and I'll show you how I let you score

Yeah baby

And I could show you one or two clean things right there in my sink   8a
