My darling, don’t blow up a fuse
Please stop screaming, it’s no use
You know I need to borrow your small things
But it’s no time to complain of it
Darling, where’s your hair drier ?
Darling, where are your curlers ?
Can you lend your eyeliner ?
Please, find me the eye shadow
Me, I have to pluck my eye brow
Quick, or I’ll miss the show !
I owe you a dozen brassière
I’ll buy you a brand new hairspray
Idem for your eyeliner
And so for your suspender belts
I swear to renew your wardrobe !
How many time did we speak of it ?
My job isn’t correct, politically speaking
But after all, don’t pill on the agony
In less of an hour, I’ll be on scene
Babe, gimme the evening dress
And your emerald necklace
I’m in such a state of stress
Your panties are all dirt
So gimme the leather knickers
I hope it will match my color
I owe you a dozen brassière
I’ll buy you a brand new hairspray
Idem for your eyeliner
And so for your suspender belts
Oh darling, I’m so sorry
There’s a ladder on your stockings
But in the end
There’s one thing I will never take
Well, it is your box of tampons !
