We came across the West sea We didn't have much idea Of the kind of climate waiting We used our hands for guidance Like the children of a preacher Like a dry tree seeking water or a daughter Nice 'n' sleazy Nice 'n' sleazy does it Nice 'n' sleazy, nice 'n' sleazy Does it, does it, does it every time Nice 'n' sleazy, nice 'n' sleazy Does it, does it, does it every time Nice 'n' sleazy does it Nice 'n' sleazy, nice 'n' sleazy Does it, does it, does it every time Nice 'n' sleazy, nice 'n' sleazy Does it, does it, does it every time Nice 'n' sleazy does it An angel came from outside Had no halo had no father With a coat of many colors He spoke of brothers many Wine and women song a plenty He began to write a chapter in history Nice 'n' sleazy Nice 'n' sleazy does it Nice 'n' sleazy does it Nice 'n' sleazy does it, does it every time
