This single features Jenny Conlee (of the Decemberists and Black Prairie) on accordion, Barry Wahrhaftig (Hot Club of Philadelphia) on guitar, and Chloé Perrier (French native and New York City professional singer).
Stylistically, it is a French Café/ gypsy jazz song.
By happenstance, this song has been released on the birthday of the inimitable Django Reinhardt!

lyrics
Lusciously on my lips your taste
Piques my tongue to salivate
Leaves my mouth to insatiably crave
Your tempting lure cannot abstain
Buxom curves you’re so sweet and ripe
Smoking hot you enflame with spice
Juices ooze with my tender bite
Succulent skin smooth as buffed gneiss
Curse this ravenous affair
The more I hunger the sooner you’re gone
This won’t last, we don’t have a prayer
You will bitter and then you’ll move on
Pensez que cette chanson sur le sexe
Est destiné à confondre, perplexe
Doubles sens sur la nourriture
Ma recette préférée, la ratatouille
Curse this ravenous affair
The more I hunger the sooner you’re gone
This won’t last, we don’t have a prayer
You will bitter and then you’ll move on
Oh…
Ah…
Curse this ravenous affair
The more I hunger the sooner you’re gone
This won’t last, we don’t have a prayer
You will bitter and then you’ll move on
