And this I know
His teeth as white as snow
What a gas it was to see him
Walk her every day
Into a shady place
With her lips she said
She said
Hey Paul, Hey Paul, Hey Paul, let's have a ball (3X)
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic a big big love (2X)
Lovely legs there are
What a big black mask
What a hunk of love
Walk her every day into a shady place
He's like the dark, but I'd want him
Hey Paul, Hey Paul, Hey Paul, let's have a ball (3X)
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic A big big love (2X)
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic A big big love (2X)
