Lyrics

Penetration in the Centrefold

It's the middle of the month, it's happening all over town You know it's got me reeling forward, got me falling to the ground There's a new mag on the market, it's the best around All the guys are talking, it's the best they ever found All the guys are talking, 'cause they all want some It's got me reaching in my pocket, got me forking over cash 'Cause there's something in the middle and it's giving me a rash Now every single month, it's the same old trash: There's a girl in the middle with a finger in her gash There's a boy there in the middle with a reamer up her ass Penetration! It's the middle of the month, it's happening all over town Know it's got me reeling forward, got me falling to the ground It's got me reaching in my pocket, got me forking over cash 'Cause there's something in the middle and it's giving me a rash There's a girl in the middle with a finger in her gash Penetration! Penetration in the centerfold! Penetration! Penetration! Penetration in the centerfold!
