The Only Boy in Town

Original

Oh if only you were the only boy in town

For then I could not play the field and let you down

I would not go half mad for each passing lad

With eyes of blue, green, grey or brown

No if only you were the only boy in town

Oh if only you were the only boy in France

Our life would not be like one long, long, long seance

I think I would endeavor to love you forever

Instead of only for the nonce

If, if only you were the only boy in France

With the only boy in town

With the only available male

In the loneliest possible world

There would be no daily betrayal

Oh if only you were the only boy alive

And I were the queen of our small, small, small beehive

Though more pricks than a cactus may always distract us

Would they take up all my sex drive?

Not, not, not if you were the only boy alive

Oh if only you were the only boy in town

Oh if only you were the only boy in France
