With A Scarlet Letter

Years ago, everywhere

Word on the street

Was let the buyer beware

You'd walk down the street

We'd all stop and stare together

Walking by the India dock

It was midnight

By the Custom House clock

Don't you think

We'll end up in the stocks together?

I like you better - whoa-oh

With a scarlet letter - whoa-oh

I like you better - whoa-oh

With a scarlet letter

In Puritan days

Things were pretty grim

They were cracking down on Hester Prynne

God was harsh and bleak

Like New England weather

But our founding fathers

They were great

With the separation of Church-N-State!!

We gotta hold the line

Before it's too late, forever!!

I like you better - whoa-oh

With a scarlet letter - whoa-oh

I like you better - whoa-oh

With a scarlet letter

Shameless hussy!

Stay in thy rank

I'll have you fitted for a brank!

Scolding woman - don't be a fool

I'll have you seated in the ducking stool

I like you better - whoa-oh

With a scarlet letter - whoa-oh

I like you better - whoa-oh

With a scarlet letter - whoa-oh

I like you better - whoa-oh

With a scarlet letter - whoa-oh

I like you better - whoa-oh

With a scarlet letter - whoa-oh-oh-ohoohhh
