The Lecher by Pok the Bard.
Album: Anthology
THE LECHER
Lecher crawls, his fingers groping
Skinny hands and eyes like fire
Don’t you just want to know him?
Really, I don’t think you wanna try!
He’s the lecher
He’s the lecher
Lecher crawls, his fingers groping
Skinny hands and eyes like fire
Don’t you just want to know him?
Really, I don’t think you wanna try!
He’s the lecher
He’s the lecher
