The Nun's Litany - The Magnetic Fields

I want to be a playboy’s bunny

I’d do whatever they asked me to.

I’d meet people with lots of money,

and men would love me like I loved you.

I want to be a topless waitress,

I want my mother to shed one tear.

I’d throw away this old sedate dress

slip into something a tad more shear.

I want to be an artist’s model

An odalisque au naturel

I should be good at spin the bottle

While I’ve still got something left to sell

I want to be a cobra dancer

With little willie between my thighs

I may not find a cure for cancer

But I’ll meet plenty of single guys.

I’d like to be a brothel worker,

I’ve always been treated like one.

If I could be a backstreet lover,

I’d make more money and have more fun.

I want to be a dominatrix

which isn’t like me, but I can dream.

Learn S&M and all those gay tricks

and men will pay me to make them scream

I want to be a porno starlet

For that I’ll wait till mom is dead

I’d see my name in lights of scarlet

And get to spend everyday in bed

I want to be a tattooed lady,

Dedicated as I am to art.

Characters bold, complex, and shady

Will write my memoirs across my heart
