The Masochism Tango Lyrics – Tom Lehrer

Singer: Tom Lehrer
Title: The Masochism Tango

Another familiar type of love song is the passionate or fiery variety
Usually in tango tempo
In which the singer exhorts his partner
To haunt him and taunt him, and

If at all possible, to consume him with a kiss of fire. This, uh
This particular illustration of this genre is called
“The Masochism Tango”
I ache for the touch of your lips, dear

But much more for the touch of your whips, dear
You can raise welts
Like nobody else
As we dance to the Masochism Tango

Let our love be a flame, not an ember
Say it’s me that you want to dismember
Blacken my eye
Set fire to my tie

As we dance to the Masochism Tango
At your command
Before you here I stand
My heart is in my hand

It’s here that I must be
My heart entreats
Just hear those savage beats
And go put on your cleats

And come and trample me
Your heart is hard as stone or mahogany
That’s why I’m in such exquisite agony
My soul is on fire

It’s aflame with desire
Which is why I perspire when we tango
You caught my nose
In your left castanet, love

I can feel the pain yet, love
Every time I hear drums
And I envy the rose
That you held in your teeth, love

With the thorns underneath, love
Sticking into your gums
Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches
The last time I needed twenty stitches

To sew up the gash
That you made with your lash
As we danced to the Masochism Tango
Bash in my brain

And make me scream with pain
Then kick me once again
And say we’ll never part
I know too well

I’m underneath your spell
So, darling, if you smell
Something burning, it’s my heart
‘Scuse me!

Take your cigarette from its holder
And burn your initials in my shoulder
Fracture my spine
And swear that you’re mine

As we dance to the Maso-chism Tango
