it's at times like these the great heaven knows 
that we wish we had not so many clothes 
so let's loosen up with a playful tease 
like all lovers did through the centuries 
we're just following ancient history 
if i strip for you will you strip for me 
we're just following ancient history 
if i strip for you will you strip for me 
uh-huh-huh 
when it gets so hot the end of the day 
you may find your clothes getting in the way 
if a pretty dress hides your true desire 
fold it nice and slow throw it on the fire 
we're just following ancient history 
if i strip for you will you strip for me 
we're just following ancient history 
if i strip for you will you strip for me 
uh-huh-huh 
we don't need to see what the butler saw 
or a mirrored room with a mirrored floor 
all those sneaky looks gazing down on you 
are no substitute for our rendezvous 
we're just following ancient history 
if i strip for you will you strip for me 
we're just following ancient history 
if i strip for you will you strip for me 
uh-huh-huh 
it's at times like these the great heaven knows 
that we wish we had not so many clothes 
so let's loosen up with a playful tease 
like all lovers did through the centuries 
if you think it's cheap or a bit risky 
please don't say a word i'll just slip away 
i am not a man who believes in lies 
like an octopus with big x-ray eyes 
don't freeze up girl you're looking quite a sight 
be generous i want it all tonight 
we're just following ancient history 
if i strip for you will you strip for me 
uh-huh-huh 
we're just following ancient history 
if i strip for you will you strip for me 
uh-huh-huh 
we're just following ancient history 
if i strip for you will you strip for me 
uh-huh-huh 
we're just following ancient history 
if i strip for you will you strip for me 
uh-huh-huh
