One afternoon Lily
Was having an ice cream dream.
A young man with a moustache
Approached her ingratiating and clean.

He took her for a walk into the park,
Inserted his finger in her glove.
And he took her to his apartment
and to her he made love.

Trampled Lily
Trampled Lily (repeat)

The next morning before going out
He presented her with a ruffled peignoir of gin,
After that each morning
She read ladies’ magazines

In the afternoon she entertained gentlemen
Gentlemen on her bed.
The young man gave way to an older man
With a heavy beard.

Trampled Lily
Trampled Lily (repeat)

Under the influence of a lecture from a passing senator
She decided to reform.
She was placed in a back bedroom with bars
Like a prison dorm.

She gave birth to a defective infant
Placed in an orphanage overfull

And as she lost her freshness
On the streets the punters she pulled.

Trampled Lily
Trampled Lily (repeat)

She was continually harassed by masculine women in black bonnets
Trying to set her free.
And that she reached her twentieth birthday
She died of a loathsome disease.
