And that inspired me to write... something that not only isn't
raunchy enough to need to be in Amf, but is as political as what we
were trying to get away from. Oh well, at least it scans and rhymes.
Title: There Is a Whorehouse in the Town
ttto: There Is a Tavern in the Town
There is a whorehouse in the town (in the town)
Or was until they shut it down (shut it down)
That's where I spent my money and my time
And closing it, I think's a crime
(Chorus:)
Who'd they hurt while making money?
I'd go there when I'd no honey
And we all got what we wanted
And with no regrets
They shut it down. They said it's lewd (said it's lewd)
The law is often quite a prude (quite a prude)
They try to legislate morality
Ignoring all reality
(chorus)
So what's a fella gonna do (gonna do)?
And how about those harlots too (harlots too)?
They're all out there without a way to meet
It leads to sleaze right in the streets
(chorus)
Some toil and sell their body's sweat (body's sweat)
And products of their hands and yet (hands and yet)
This job where only women can excel
They say will send them straight to hell
(chorus)
So sex work should be legalized (legalized)
Those doing it not be despised (not despised)
And why not let them work for what we'll pay?
Those that object can stay away

Guessing a lyricist's opinions from his songs is as futile as
guessing an author's opinions from his novels.
