Start with the pinky, snap the tip
Then work your way up the hand to the wrist
To break the arm, you’ll need a tight grip.

When love takes hold and makes the heart skip
You might hesitate, but I must insist
Start with the pinky, snap the tip

The signal an upward curve of the lip
Ignore all attempts if one tries to resist
To break the arm, you’ll need a tight grip.

Dresses are easy, they merely unzip
Buttons are harder; they require a twist
Start with the pinky, snap the tip

If all else fails, just give it a rip
No need to worry, no one will be missed                                 
To break the arm, you’ll need a tight grip.

The best way to tackle a relationship
is to find the one who’s never been kissed
Start with the pinky, snap the tip
To break the arm, you’ll need a tight grip.
