Sex, Alcohol and Sugar

 

I seem to spend my life

In giving up of things

Things I like, look forward to

Ring-a-ding-a-ding

 

I'm told such things are bad for me

That I should wave goodbye

To smoking, sugar, alcohol

Give up, lie back, and sigh

 

Funny? but there's just one thing

I don't give up (one thing)

That's sex, it just gives up on me

Ring-a-ding-a-ding
