Dressed only in clothes
From her head to her toes
This is the way
The talking part goes
S-E-X-X-Y
More than enough
Around the clock with nobody else
S-E-X-X-Y
There she is
Standing on the bed
Cookie in one hand, wig on her head
S-E-X-X-Y
X because it's extra baby
Y because it's extra baby
Unnoticed by few
Very very few
And that includes you
Look inside your mind
Look inside your eye
Secret agent spy, come to see why
S-E-X-X-Y
One fingernail
Across your back
Baby's first gold tooth, initials inscribed
S-E-X-X-Y
X because it's extra baby
Y because it's extra baby
You gotta understand
She wants to be your man
She's got another plan
Quoth the Johns:
...a pretty big departure for us, as it is our first ode to getting it on. Written with Iggy Pop's bassist Hal Cragin, and featuring a horn and string arrangement by TMBG road veteran Kurt Hoffman (also known for his work with the Ordinaires) this track spotlights Eric's phenomenal playing over a very fine groove laid down by Brian [Doherty], Hal and percussionist Sue Hadjopoulos.
