Desdemona just because

 You're the daughter of a man

 He may be rich he's in a ditch

 He does not understand

 Just-a 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

 Don't give you the right

 To steal my night

 And leave me naked in the nude

 Well just because the touch of your hand

 Can turn me on just like a stick

Desdemona, Desdemona, Desdemona

Desdemona, Desdemona, Desdemona

Lift up your skirt and speak
