Take me on you rocking whores
Hit the lights and shut your doors
Grab your ankles everyone
Ain’t my way of having fun

Can’t give it up, gotta get it up,give it up, c’mon Nancy
Can’t get it up, get it up, for your fancy
Gotta get it up, get it up, c’mon Nancy
Can’t get it up, gotta get it up, get it up

For your fantasies my ass don’t speculate
I’m just your slave, your master’s bait
And lots of luck into the night
Just waitin’ for the bright light fright

Can’t give it up, gotta give it up, get it up, c’mon Nancy
Can’t get it up, get it up, for your fancy
Gotta get it up, get it up, c’mon Nancy
Get it up, gotta get it up, c’mon Nancy

Really have a good time
Really have a good time
Suckin up the moonshine
Up underneath her clothesline

Really have a good time
Love me ’til the sun

Can’t give it up, gotta get it up, get it up, c’mon Nancy
Can’t give it up, gotta get it up, get it up, get it up, for your fancy
Gotta get it up, give it up, get it up, c’mon Nancy
Can’t get it up, gotta get it up, get it up, get it up

Get it up and down and all around
Take the ride and paint the town
Slow me down and make it fast
Scream almost and make it last

You know you gotta really have a good time
You know your really gonna, really have a good time
Suckin up the moonshine
Up underneath the her clothesline

You know your really gonna
Really have a good time
You know you really wanna
Love me ’til the sun

Can’t get it up
Get it up
