The Lyrics
Cara mia, why am I caught in lies?
When I depart, ain’t smart—no bye-byes.
Darling, it’s unfair: my philand’ring’s bare.
You’ll be my love till the next in line,
Cara mia mine [4x]
Cara mia, I have described your thighs
And other parts—I don’t mean your eyes.
Darling, my fake prayers won’t stay the nay-sayers.
Ain’t fit for gov.; who’s the next in line?
Carolina swine [4x]
[sounds of soul-mate lovemaking]
Each time we part, I start for more pie.
Darling, you’re down there. . .
Pais* and my pair.
You are my love. . .and the other nine
Cara mias mine,
Cara mias, nine. . . .

Sir Sweaty, you definitely have it BAD . . . and that ain't good, Sir !
Very steamy parody....555 Cupid's Arrows are shooting through you!
Love the Dorothy Parker-esque zing of the end line. :)
appropriate number for a lover of latins
