lyrics

Once the meal had been fully ingested and the guests had taken to their own private ways.
That's when you came across her, the french opener, and it commenced.

With the proper dressing we could swallow anything.
With just a touch of french we feel that we could swallow la mer.

Bottles were cracked open and wine was stacked in pyramids as if this were the day on which we were to be wed.
Bull's blood dripped from the ceiling fan and the hands of the french opener as it commenced.

With the proper dressing we could swallow anything.
With just a touch of french we feel that we could swallow la mer.

And that little cut of white lace hinted at her lingerie.
Knelt before the kitchen sink it was more than my heart could bear.

All my thanks go to the opener. All my thanks go to the french opener.
