Once there was a jolly roar
From every magistrate
And every whore
Ach, wo besonderes
An ocean of wonders
Under the red marquees
Until they found you
With blood all around you
And the guilty old hands were these...

I love the avenue
Once on a summer night
I tore your heart in two
And made you shine so bright
And I know that all's at stake
Yes, for every small mistake I make
I love the avenue

I love the avenue
Under the red marquees
A table set for two
You caressed by a lewd night breeze
And how that silky dress would lick your thigh
Making love to every sound and sight
I might just die from loving you
I love the avenue

Cuckold by the trees
And by the bees
And by tease and the laughter of
Children's play in the corridor
Cuckold by a sigh
A little lie
And by the tie that I gave you
To wear for evermore
It's love or I
O, heedless I
Your battle ground I shall woo
To that I must stay true
I love the avenue

And have I learned from my mistakes?
There's a carcass somewhere by the lake
I'll make amends for number two
I love the avenue
