Trumping Machiavelli

Sophomore Bertha Succubus
Was a virgin at your school
The football team adore her
And you say she's pretty cool

Her mom and dad are preachers
Authorities on Hell
Every sin a man can do
Is one they know quite well

God made her lips for kissing
And the Devil's keeping score
Every boy she touches 
Finds his trousers on the floor

I know she really loves you
She said so on that pew
Where Peter opened Pearly Gates
And I had it in for you 

Dollar signs will trump a cross,
Burning bush, or etched in stone;
All it took was just a buck
To give your girl the bone

Presidents set a standard
For others to emulate
So after you console her
Set me up for another date!
