It’s a short term affair

You’re my children’s au pair

But I just couldn’t bear

To keep my hands off you

I was barely eighteen

What you did was obscene

But to me it felt clean

What else was I to do?

The memory still lingers

You cooking the kid’s fish fingers

And ironing

Each morning you’d come down

In your paisley dressing gown

Then you’d sing

And this yearning started

For a short term affair

No intentions astray

I was caught in your snare

But my wife was away

You were so debonair

So I thought, ‘What the hey’

I know I can’t resist

‘Twas a short term affair

You’re the man, you’re the boss

When I found you right there

Like the father I lost

Cleaning our silverware

So to hell with the cost

Right there, at once

We kissed

You took me to the kitchen

Your hands kinda started twitching

I felt so shy

Nothing could stop what followed

Lucky for me you swallowed

Every lie

But the lord knows why we had a short term affair

‘Twas a short term affair

Like a ripe Camembert

There’s a smell in the air

I know it’s over now

Try to be strong somehow

I’ll start a brand new life

Please, please don’t tell my wife

But I won’t stop loving you

Please, please don’t tell my wife

Au revoir, ciao, au wiedersen

We must never meet again

Short term affair

Ooooooooooh

Short term affair

Baby, baby, baby

Short term affair

Ooh eee yahhhhh

Short term affair
