Hey babe take a chance on me
I'll be your man tonight
Just tell me when you've had enough
Then I'll apply the coup de grace
If I were to live forever
I'd hope you'd apply the coup de grace.

Hey babe take a chance with me
I'll take you down the river tonight
A full moon with a big wolf too
The end won't be a pretty sight.

And then we seeking something
We need the coup de grace.

O lord I'm on my knees, save our holes
Or it's the coup de grace, save our holes.

Hey babe I'm a bum tonight
I need somewhere to sleep
I'll love you now and I'll love you then
But in the morning you will weep.
