The Man Who Couldn't Afford To Orgy - John Cale

Pity the poor man, pity the sad man

Pity the green man who couldn’t afford to orgy

Pity the policeman, pity the snowman

Pity the woman who couldn’t afford to orgy

«Say, Johnny, you’re a little lonesome?

Oh, come on big boy, let me show you

Mmm, don’t you wanna good time?»

Good for the postman, good for the con man

Good for the milkman, they can afford to orgy

Good for the butcher, good for the astronaut

Good for the curate, they can afford to orgy

«Come on, honey, keep breaking my heart

Ooh, you’re breaking my heart»

If it’s a problem getting together

Leave it alone, it’s the easiest way

Great while it lasts, but it don’t last forever

Nothing like living real dangerously

«Ooh, come on, give yourself a break

Oh, don’t worry, baby, you’ll get over it

Mmm, you’ll get over it»

Sorry to hear it, sorry to see it

Sorry to mention I couldn’t afford to orgy

Seems such a bother, one thing, another

Tempting and teasing, just for an orgy

«Oh no, you have to take a chance

Ah, you’ve gotta give me one chance anyway

Mmm, you can sure do it

Ah, mmm, c’mon, mmm»
