(Lyrics)
[Maid] Oo aa! ha ha ha ha. What happened then, your Grace?
[Electrican as Duchess] I was betrayed, girl. My life is one long sorrow. There are moments in my life. There are moments in my life as of no other life. Moment of anguish and betrayal.
[Maid] But why your Grace did this happen to you? Why to you?
[Electrican as Duchess] I cannot say. I was beautiful. I was famous. I was young. I was rich, girl. What more do they need?
Do they need purity to crow over? They had it. Do they need innocence? I was innocent, girl. Girl, I had innocence. I had my life, and it was good. I was beautiful, and it was good. Let me tell you about me. Let me tell you about my life as a famous beauty. They wrote operas about me. They wrote novels about me. They painted portraits of me that won every prize in London. They wrote songs about me. You know that song. Everyone knows that song - "Love me". Why don't you suck me off until you can't take more. I'll really ram it in your jaw. Because your practise every night fellatio. It's the most delightful art you know ...
[Duchess] I see. This is what has come to. Take off my coat. Who are you, boy?
[Electrican] Your grace, I came to mend you teasmade.
[Duchess] My teasmade. Have you mended it?
[Electrican] Your grace, I couldn't mend it.
[Duchess] Why cannot you mend it?
[Electrican] Your grace. It's just too old.
