Squeeze Box (The Who song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Squeeze Box" is a song by The Who. "Squeezebox" is a slang term for accordions and related instruments, but it is also slang for vagina. The band just wanted to see if they could get away with singing explicitly about the joys of sex. It was written by Pete Townshend. It appears on the album The Who By Numbers in 1975.

[edit] Lyrics

Mama's got a squeeze box she wears on her chest and when Daddy comes home, he never gets no rest.

'Cause she's playin' all night And the music's alright. Mama's got a squeeze box, Daddy never sleeps at night.

Well the kids don't eat And the dog can't sleep. There's no escape from the music In the whole damn street.

'Cause she's playin' all night And the music's all right. Mama's got a squeeze box, Daddy never sleeps at night.

She goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out.

'Cause she's playin' all night And the music's all right. Mama's got a squeeze box, Daddy never sleeps at night.
