PANTIES (Bonny)

They snuck up behind my back
Bernie and Barney and Marty and Jack
Then they left me lying there
Stealing my last pair
Of panties

They sit upon my chest
They pin down my legs and they pull up my dress
They go wild when they see the hair
Through a tear
In my panties

They twirl them on their fingers
They put them on their heads, they
Cram them in their pockets
And they run away
I only wanted to be with the boys
You gotta get shoved around to be loved around the boys

Boys have more fun, get things done, get to break things
They don't have as many feelings
They're not smarter, a lot of times they're wrong
But they're so strong
Deep down they're simple and easy to please
I guess they only want panties

They toss them down on the stoop
They hang them up high on the basketball hoop
Forever out of reach
Each
Pair of panties
