John's Children — Desdemona lyrics

Lyrics

Desdemona just because
You’re the daughter of a man
He may be rich he’s in a ditch
He does not understand
Just how to move or rock and roll
To the conventions of the young
Desdemona, Desdemona, Desdemona
Desdemona, Desdemona, Desdemona
Lift up your skirt and fly
Just because my friend and I
Got a juke joint by the Seine
Does not mean I’m past fourteen
And cannot play the game
I’m glad I split and got a pad
On Boulevard Rue Fourteen
Desdemona, Desdemona, Desdemona
Desdemona, Desdemona, Desdemona
Lift up your skirt and fly
Just because Toulouse Lautrec
Painted some chick in the rude
