[to the tune of Johnny Cash's "40 shades of green"]

 

I close my eyes as you reach

for the nipple clamps

they sting as you attach them

Have they been dipp’d in chilli?

 

I catch my breath and listen

as you tie me to the bed 

with barb’d wire and silk rope

the blindfold sure hurts my head

 

But most of all I wish to kiss

a thousand times your lips

and not just those upon your face 

but in another special place

 

What happens next is private

suffice it is to say

It is most delightful

Such are my 50 shades of grey

 

Yes, it is most delightful

Such are my 50 shades of grey
