Lyrics:
Pandora's Box

 

© 2008 by Mary Crowell.

I heard you sneaking up in dirty old socks
There's evil things inside the basket.
I'll need a safe -- I'll need a door that locks.
Keep your greedy little fingers off Pandora's box.

Chorus:

I'll put her treasure out of reach
Although you beg and bribe, beseech.
There's only one way I could teach
You not to open the box,
And that's to let you
Which I will not do.
Keep your greedy little fingers off Pandora's box.

[Instrumental]

'Thought I should say, before you went too far,
There is a reason for that casket.
You say you met her in Olympus Bar?
Keep your sticky little fingers off Pandora's jar.

Chorus:

Does songs of love and plays the flute,
She thinks your goatee looks so cute;
I know you wish I were a mute.
Please, friend, don't open the jar,
Your lovely houri's Vengeful dowry.
Keep your sticky little fingers off Pandora's jar.

"Perhaps a quiz," you say, "A lover's test?"
"There is no need to blow a gasket."
I won't give up until I've been a pest.
Keep your roving little fingers off Pandora's chest.

Chorus:

You asked her "Please?" and she said "Nope."
You disobey, we lose all hope.
Find some distracting way to cope.
No need for grabbing the chest.
I've mentioned nightly.
I've asked politely,
Keep your roving little fingers off Pandora's chest.

[Reprise First Verse]

Keep your sticky little fingers off Pandora's jar.
Keep your roving little fingers off Pandora's chest.
Keep your greedy little fingers off Pandora's box.
