Vaseline (The non-product placement Vaseline) It’s not true what we were once taught Masturbation really means naught And you can have a very good time With Vaseline It was invented by oil drillers Whose own mid-nightly thrillers Placed their fate in their own hands With Vaseline You can go at it all day and night You won’t go blind, you will be alright You won’t get spots where you should not With Vaseline If you’re hetero girl or boy Just imagine your love toy If you’re gay, dream in your own way With Vaseline Throughout history’s many ages The prophets and the sages Made do with lard, cheap oil or greases Not Vaseline If you’re a monk or a celibate Or a nun who has never done it Take things into your own hands now With Vaseline. Place your fingers where it matters Tear the moral world to tatters Come without restraint or fears With Vaseline. Sweet Vaseline! My Vaseline!
