Lyrics The Masochism Tango - Live - Tom Lehrer
Another
familiar
type
of
love
song
is
the
passionate
or
fiery
variety
Usually
in
tango
tempo
In
which
the
singer
exhorts
his
partner
to
haunt
him
and
taunt
him
and
If
at
all
possible,
to
consume
him
with
a
kiss
of
fire,
this
uhm
This
particular
illustration
of
this
genre
is
called
"The
Masochism
Tango"
I
ache
for
the
touch
of
your
lips,
dear
But
much
more
for
the
touch
of
your
whips,
dear
You
can
raise
welts
Like
nobody
else
As
we
dance
to
the
Masochism
Tango
Let
our
love
be
a
flame,
not
an
ember
Say
it's
me
that
you
want
to
dismember
Blacken
my
eye
Set
fire
to
my
tie
As
we
dance
to
the
Masochism
Tango
At
your
command
Before
you
here
I
stand
My
heart
is
in
my
hand
(Yeechh!)
It's
here
that
I
must
be
My
heart
entreats
Just
hear
those
savage
beats
And
go
put
on
your
cleats
And
come
and
trample
me
Your
heart
is
hard
as
stone
or
mahogany
That's
why
I'm
in
such
exquisite
agony
My
soul
is
on
fire
It's
aflame
with
desire
Which
is
why
I
perspire
when
we
tango
You
caught
my
nose
In
your
left
castanet,
love
I
can
feel
the
pain
yet,
love
Every
time
I
hear
drums
And
I
envy
the
rose
That
you
held
in
your
teeth,
love
With
the
thorns
underneath,
love
Sticking
into
your
gums
Your
eyes
cast
a
spell
that
bewitches
The
last
time
I
needed
twenty
stitches
To
sew
up
the
gash
That
you
made
with
your
lash
As
we
danced
to
the
Masochism
Tango
Bash
in
my
brain
And
make
me
scream
with
pain
Then
kick
me
once
again
And
say
we'll
never
part
I
know
too
well
I'm
underneath
your
spell
So,
darling,
if
you
smell
Something
burning,
it's
my
heart
(huh)
'Scuse
me!
Take
your
cigarette
from
its
holder
And
burn
your
initials
in
my
shoulder
Fracture
my
spine
And
swear
that
you're
mine
As
we
dance
to
the
Masochism
Tango
