Modesty Plays (New Version) lyrics

[Refrain]
Modesty plays, modesty plays
Modesty plays, modesty plays

[Verse 1]
She may like caviar and c*cktails
She may like symphonies and sun
But underneath the gown and high heels
She's like a fully loaded gun

[Refrain]
Modesty plays, modesty plays
Modesty plays, modesty plays

[Verse 2]
The world is runnin' out of heroes
The world is runnin' out of time
Where are those martial arts maneuvers?
We're getting massacred by crime

[Verse 3]
Well, listen buddy don't be worried
She may not look like Genghis Khan
And she may talk about her manicure
But she can sure get things done
[Refrain]
Modesty plays, modesty plays
Modesty plays, modesty plays

[Interlude]
Modesty plays
Modesty plays

[Refrain]
Modesty plays, modesty plays
Modesty plays, modesty plays

[Verse 4]
Don't underestimate the lady
She may seem cultured and demure
But there's another side and careful
She'll hit you like a two by four

[Verse 5]
The world is running out of heroes
And everybody's out on bail
As long as modesty is on our side
Good will surely prevail

[Refrain]
Modesty plays, modesty plays
Modesty plays, modesty plays
Modesty plays, modesty plays
Modesty plays, modesty plays
[Outro]
Modesty plays
Modesty plays
