One-time love,
Take care how you use it
Try to make it last all night
And if you take your pick,
Be careful how you choose it
Sometimes it's hard to feel it bite.

Feel it bite.

A man I know
Went down to Louisiana,
Had himself a bad, bad fight
And when the sun peeked through
John Cameron with Suzanna,
He kissed the whiskers, left and right.

Whiskers!

Now, now, now, fright subsides
Out at a hotel in the quarter,
Our friends check in to pass the night
Now love gets hot,
But fire preceded water
Poor whiskers set the room alight.

Whiskers!

Down on Bourbon Street,
You know, it's right
You can see, my friend,
They run around all through the night
Most everywhere
Until the closet's bare
Run for the razor fun
Doin' up my hair.

New Orleans queens
Sure know how to schmooze it
Maybe for some that seems alright
When I step out,
strut down with my sugar
She'd best not talk like Barry White!

Now one town love,
Take care how you use it
Try to make it last all night
Take your pick
Be careful how you choose it
Sometimes it's hard to feel it bite, ah.
