1. FEMALE PROSTITUTION:CAN IT BE A CHOICE?As I was walking down the street last night,A pretty little girl came into sight.I bowed and smiled and asked her name,She said, Hold it bud, I dont play that game.I reached in my pocket, and to her big surpriseThere was Lincoln staring her dead in the eyes(refrain) On a greenback, greenback dollar billJust a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll.She looked at me with that familiar desire,Her eyes lit up like they were on fire.She said, My names Flo, and youre on the right track,But look here, daddy, I wear furs on my back,So if you want to have fun in this mans land,Let Lincoln and Jackson start shaking hands--Greenbacks Ray Charles
