lyrics

every saint needs a sinner
every loser needs a winner
every young beginner needs a take-it-on-the-chinner
i'm a sinner
she's no beginner
you can be the saint and i'll be the sinner

every boy-child needs some kisses
every girl-child knows what this is
when we're blowing out our candles
i'm all three of your wishes
who needs some kisses?
we're makin' wishes
you can be the boy and i'll give you kisses

every tom-tom needs a drummer
and every guitar needs a strummer
just like every pretty ditty needs an little bitty hummer
so who wants a hummer?

every saint needs a sinner
every saint?
- needs a sinner
every saint
but wait!
what about paul? - we'll have a ball!
what about john? - we'll get it on!
what about peter? - matthew's sweeter!
what about mark? - mmmm...tall and dark
what about thomas? - actually, he likes boys
what about michelle? - what the hell!

'cause she's - sing it boys!
a - tell 'em what I am
sinner! - sinner!

i'm a sinner!
