You’re a rare and a beautiful thing you are
When we’re listening to Marvin Gaye in my car
When we’re parked at the quarry at half past one
Like a couple of high school kids in love
And the quarry coyotes are singing our song
And the snakes and the buzzards are singing along
The seductive allure of my cigarette
Is the only thing better than you that I get
Don’t get jealous now baby ‘cause I’m still your man
But there’s only one you and there’s twenty of them
You’re seductive, alluring and sexy to boot
There’s just something about acrid smoke and black soot
You are rare, beautiful and so much more
When we’re shopping for lingerie at the store
Try on anything sexy that you please
‘Cause I know that you want to look good for me
All the girls at Victoria’s are singing our song
And all of the other customers sing along
But the seductive allure of my cigarette
Which they made me put out is much better than that
Don’t get jealous now baby ‘cause I’m still your man
But there’s only one you and there’s twenty of them
You’re seductive, alluring and sexy to boot
There’s just something about acrid smoke and black soot
Every Tuesday we watch what’s on TV
And on Wednesdays we go to the movies
But on Thursdays we go to our bedroom
And pretend that we’re on our honeymoon
Don’t get jealous now baby ‘cause I’m still your man
But there’s only one you and there’s twenty of them
You’re seductive, alluring and sexy to boot
There’s just something about acrid smoke and black soot
