Night before Valentine's
It was the night before valentines day
Was much stirring in the housing complex
Fishnet stockings were hung out of the way
In hopes that love would visit this annex
Her housemates were sleeping sweet in their rooms
All with dreams of their long-distance romance
Thinking of their men becoming their grooms
Her man and her were doing a slow dance
Her in a negligee him in his briefs
When in the parking lot there was such noise
They thought somebody was airing their beefs
They found out it was some men being boys
The big lugs were out on a panty raid
But they were really hoping to get laid
