TINA!  TINA!  TINA!
Harold L.  Johnson

Shimmying hunk of cinnamon
flesh and bone
strut prance slither me to death
Pockmark my head with your heels
Stop go run shake
Pump
Smoky priestess voice
beyond mere insanity

You say Are ya ready for me
I say Yes Baby I’m ready for ya

You say Do you want me to come down theah
I say Come on double down Baby

You say Did ya have a good time tonight
I say Oh Baby Baby Baby
