"Kiss me, Hardy" (song parody to "Kiss me deadly" by Lita Ford)

Fought in a battle in 1805

Late 'cause my job at Trafalgar went bad
But I beat that sucker, Napolean uh-huh
(There ain't no pigeons)

I know I wanna die here with you
And before I die

CHORUS
Kiss me once
Kiss me twice
I'm Admiral Lord Nelson, Kiss me Hardy (...)
