Verse 1: Just tap randomly during vocals
\"Oh, welcome to this world of fools
Of pink champagne and swimming pools
Well, all you have to lose is your virginity
Perhaps we\'ll have some fun tonight so stick around and take a bite of life
We don\'t need feebleness in this proximity\"

\"Ask good MacDuff and Donalbain, so many good ideas are slain
