The weightlifter and a library tech you know Made a big decision in the magazine row I'll open my catalogue just enough to let you in And she'll drop beers like you drop vitamins Did you ever never wanna let somebody down? Was you ever thinking that you'd be Cathy's clown now, she's around? The protein pills and the G-strings you left in her flat Are just enough to get your Dewey Decimal back You lift her to work, just before your daily workout begins And she'll stack up like you stack vitamins Did you ever never wanna let somebody down? Was you ever thinking that you'd be Cathy's clown, now she's around? Hey!
