They Deserve What They Get

They Deserve What They Get By Elton Camp We have friends who close the drapes tight Just as soon as it becomes dark every night “I’m afraid a peeping Tom will look at me And that he’ll come back some more to see.” And so night-to-night they live in abject fear That to windows a prowler will come near However, at our house we have less concern That any peeper will look and then return Who would delight to see old, flabby, fat And then come back for some more of that So if voyeurs into our windows should peer They will deserve what they get I do fear
