Letras de I Never Do Anything Twice

When I was young and simple I don′t recall the date
I met a handsome captain of the guard
He visited my chambers one evening rather late
In tandem with a husky St. Bernard
At first I was astonished and tears came to my eyes
But later when I asked him to presume
He said to my surprise, "My dear, it isn't wise
Where love is concerned, one must freshen the bloom"

Once, yes, once for a lark
Twice though, loses the spark
One must never deny it
But after you try it, you vary the diet
Said my handsome young guard
"Yes, I know that it′s hard
But no matter how nice
I never do anything twice"

I think about the Baron who came at my command
And proffered me a riding crop and chains
The evening that we shared was meticulously planned
He took the most extraordinary pains
He trembled with excitement, his cheeks were quite aglow
And afterward he cried to me, "Encore!"
He pleaded with me so to have another go
I murmured caressingly, "Whatever for?"

Once, yes, once for a lark
Twice though, loses the spark
Once, yes, once is delicious
But twice would be vicious or just repetitious
Someone's bound to be scarred
Yes, I know that it's hard
But no matter the price
I never do anything twice

And then there was the Abbot who worshiped at my feet
Who dressed me in a wimple and in veils
He made a proposition which I found rather sweet
And handed me a hammer and some nails
Meantime we lay contented and he began again
By fingering the beads around our waists
I whispered to him then, "We′ll have to say Amen"
For I had developed more catholic tastes

Once, yes, once for a lark
Twice though, loses the spark
As I said to the Abbot, "I′ll get in the habit
But not in the habit"
You've my highest regard
And I know that it′s hard
Still no matter the price
I never do anything twice

Once, yes, once can be nice
Love requires some spice
If you've something in view
Or something to do totally new
I′ll be there in a trice
But I never do anything twice
Except... no, I never do anything twice
