I TRIED TO BUY YOU FLOWERS
I tried to buy you lilies
but I couldn't see it through,
so ran off to Ann Summers
for a naughty toy or two.
​
I tried to buy you orchids
but I felt a little shy,
so left to buy some Vaseline,
and products from KY.
​
I tried to buy you daisies
but I came out in a rash,
so ran off to the sex shop
for a little 'porno' stash.
​
I tried to buy you roses
but I blushed and went bright red,
so rushed off to the chemist
for some Durex packs instead.
​
I tried to buy you flowers
but I never had much luck.
At least I've got the other things,
if we want to have a ...flipping good night in.
