[00:25.773]I was created in the fleshpots of Araby
[00:29.110]My mother was the Emperor’s secretary
[00:32.152]My father, a notorious libertine
[00:34.824]Escaped from Sodom and Gomorrah, the cities of the plain
[00:37.910]You can read my family’s rise and fall in Gibbon
[00:44.156]I was born to be adored by women
[00:50.179]Well Seth begat Clem and then Clem begat Ruth
[00:53.206]And then Ruth begat me and all hell broke loose
[00:56.644]The tribes all began to multiply and boom
[00:59.773]And, looking at their kids, no-one knew from whom
[01:02.731]The beautiful things kept springing
[01:08.532]Well I was born to be adored by women
[01:14.551]My hair is long, distinguished, prematurely grey
[01:17.468]I’ve got a mouth like Ernest Hemingway’s ashtray
[01:20.754]I’ve fathered one hundred and three illegitimate kids
[01:24.191]I’ve never met a mother I couldn’t bed
[01:26.859]I love children, spiders, snakes, and anything living
[01:32.845]I was born to be adored by women
[01:38.852]Some guys can erect garden furniture
[01:42.046]That must be what God invented husbands for
[01:45.202]But if you need a milk chocolate in the shape of a man
[01:48.211]If you need a chunk of marzipan the size of Taiwan
[01:51.710]Look up the chimney, see what Santa’s bringing
[01:57.421]Well I was born to be adored by women
[02:03.781]Well I know I’m always late since my watch got sold
[02:06.450]But I’m worth the wait, the weight in gold
[02:09.846]After God made me, they broke the mould
[02:12.775]And I’ve broken all the records with that old song
[02:15.998]Bold girls are so fond of singing
[02:21.988]I was born to be adored by women
[02:52.678]Well my favourite bird is the cuckoo, punk
[02:55.692]My favourite beast, the funky skunk
[02:58.790]My favourite colour is the emerald green
[03:01.595]Chuck the football king goes when his beauty queen
[03:04.624]Comes to me when she’s chucked him in
[03:10.778]Well I was born to be adored by women
[03:41.653]Well what I don’t know about love technique
[03:44.245]You could scribble in biro on the balls of your feet
[03:47.322]I never wear underwear, I drive a dead beat
[03:50.879]Landrover in my bare feet
[03:53.619]Stark naked, there’s always one more river to go swim in
[03:59.740]I was born to be adored by women
