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

Downy sins of streetlight fancies
Choose the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, Severin awaits 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.
