One Touch of Venus
[MOLLY, spoken]
Look, kids, if you've got what Venus had, you're all set!

[MOLLY, GIRLS]
Ooh, ooh, ooh Dada dada dada dada
Ooh, ooh Dada dada dada dada

Some girls have a touch of Venus
Which can help a girl a lot (Deedeedee, dee dee, dee dee, dadada)
Why describe a touch of Venus? (Dadada, da da da da da)
You either have it or not
If you have a touch of Venus
Men will all react the same (Dadada, da da)
With a little touch of Venus
One little touch of Venus
A lady can beat the game

[GIRLS]
With a little touch of Venus
One little touch of Venus
A lady can beat the game

[MOLLY, GIRLS]
Ooh, ooh Dada dada dada dada
Ooh, ooh Dada dada dada dada
The world belongs to men and women (Dada dada dada dada)
But the banks belong to men (Dadada dada dada dadada)
The world is just a green persimmon
If you're an average hen
Venus found she was a goddess (Dada dada dada dada)
In a world controlled by gods (Dadada da da da)
So she opened up her bodice
She opened up her bodice
And equalized the odds

[GIRLS]
So she opened up her bodice
She opened up her bodice
And equalized the odds

[MOLLY, GIRLS]
If you have a touch of Venus (Ah)
Men of iron turn to clay
Confidentially, between us (Ah)
They are suckers in the hay
Look what Beatrice did to Dante (Ah)
What DuBarry did to France
Venus taught them that the pantie (Ah)
Is mightier than the pants

Some girls have a touch of Venus (Venus)
They wear diamonds every night
If she has a touch of Venus
When a girl does wrong she does it right
I could use a touch of Venus (Dada dada dada dada)
It comes in handy in a pinch (Dada)
Mix a little touch of goddess
A little touch of damsel
And life is just a goddess damsel cinch
