Something on the Side

Marriage is a sacrament, a duty and a joy
The blessed union of a girl and boy
It's caring and it's sharing through the good times and the rough
But pretty soon the husband finds enough is not enough

A man must have his mate
A groom must have his bride
Plus a little something on the side
Just to be respectable a fellow takes a wife
Though she's sweet and soft and gentle he needs something supplemental
Someone who can give his life that little extra vim
Someone that'll be doing what his wife won't do for him
Somebody to satisfy that slightly wayward whim
Just a little something on the side

Something on the side, something on the side
Something on the quiet that can always be denied
Someone to embrace far from the place where you reside
Just a little something on the side

A genty says to me 'How'd you like to be.
Be my little something on the side?'
In a little love nest on the far side of the town
We can play at slap and tickle
Hide the sausage, dunk the pickle
I said 'Right dear, I'll be chill if you have got the jack
What I've got is yours dear if you'd like to have a crack'
Now he has me on me front and sometimes on me back
And sometimes we try something on the side

Something on the side, something on the side
Something on the quiet that can always be denied
Someone to embrace far from the place where you reside
Just a little something on the side

Who can tell us why a little sugar pie
Is always twice as sweet when it's eaten on the slide
A wife is very nice but you've not lived until you've tried
Just a little something on the surreptitious side
A diddle diddle dumpling
A little tumpa tumphing
Just a little something on the side
