Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Clubs and bells, your servant
Don'tforsakehim
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Downy sins ofstreetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, severin await's you there

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears
Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
Shiny leather in the dark tongue of thongs
The belt that does await you
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Severin, severin, speak so slightly
Severin, down on your bended knee
Taste the whip, in love not given lightly
Taste the whip, now plead for me

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Severin, your servant comes in bells
Please don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
