[English]

When I'm in heat

Someone gets a notion

I jump to my feet

I hoof it to the ocean

We hit a beach

Where no one gives a hoot

Nobody never ever wears a suit

The ladies there

They look so proud

That's 'cause they know

That they've been so well endowed

Now, I ain't much

For Fannie's conversation

Or care to much

About her operation

But every time Pandora comes my way

I get high

Can't explain the sensation

To get it on

I gotta watch what I say

Or I'll catch hell

From the women's liberation

Sweet Pandora

Good-like aura

Smell like a flora

Open up your door-a for me

Sweet Pandora

Good-like aura

Smell like a flora

Open up your door-a for me

Sweet Pandora

Mama crack a smile for me

Just for me, just for me

Just for me, just for me

Just for me, just for me

Just for me

Now I ain't what

You'd call a city slicker

Or claim to fame

To be a slitty licker

But every time Pandora comes my way

I get high

Can't explain the sensation

To get it on

I gotta watch what I say

Or I'll catch hell

From the women's liberation

Sweet Pandora

Good-like aura

Smell like a flora

Open up your door-a for me

Sweet Pandora

Good-like aura

Smell like a flora

Open up your door-a for me

Sweet Pandora

Mama crack a smile for me

Just for me, just for me

Just for me, just for me

Just for me, just for me

Just for me
