about

A serious disqusition on male sexual prowess.

lyrics

Now I don’t claim to be as good as, let’s say, Errol Flynn
How good I am depends on circumstances that I’m in
But if Jerry Lee could get it on in forty-five minutes flat
It only took me seventeen so baby, how good was that?

Now baby, if you rate me on a scale of one to ten
I’d like to know how good I am compared with other men
I know you’re not the kind of girl to put me to the test
But even so I’d like to know I’m – simply the best

Oh and, by the way, how good was that?
I bet I could knock all the rest into a cocked hat
How good was that? But if you want me to keep it up
Baby, please tell me how good was that?

My little insecurities and p-p-performance fears
Are but a distant memory of p-pimply teenage years
But a lifetime of p-passion has left me f-fighting fit
So look out, baby! Here I come! –
but you better not blink else you might miss it

and then you just couldn’t tell me how good was that?
I bet I could knock all the rest into a cocked hat
How good was that? But if you want me to keep it up
Baby, please tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me how good was that?
Did I bowl a maiden over with my li’l ol’ cricket bat?
How good was that? How good was that?
But if things don’t go quite as planned
I might just need a helping hand
Show me that you understand and
Please, please tell me how good was that?
Tell me, how good was that?
I wanna know how good was that?
How good? How good? – “THE BEST A GIRL CAN GET!”
