No Vacancies

James Vincient Johnson 1952 (Algoma WV)

No Vacancies

There are no vacancies my shire
Unless you are of merit sir
Is it Heaven or Hell your desires
My queen is the one who decides

An empty bed may be untold
When there is nothing to resent
Neither Heaven nor Hell can be sold
So my queen don’t get unbent

We will always be squires
To satisfy our desires
Let’s throw away this sign
No vacancies while you’re mine

Aaaah,  Aaaah,  Ooooh,  Ooooh
The feel of grass on my bottom
It seems like Hell, no Heaven
But it feels like cream and leaven

Still no vacancies, our solace
As long as the queen creams
On this soft grassy place
To reminisce in quiet dreams
