GOTHIC LOLITA, THE 1st VARIATION Gonna sew myself a suit of black Lolita,
Trim my frock with lace and frills,
Gonna be a pin-up girl, a sexy diva,
A dream come true, a public thrill.
Are you laughing? It`s a kind of fever!
Plastic fabric fits me a great deal.
Gothic Lola`s dresses, by the way,
Fit not all. But if it does, it`s great!
GOTHIC LOLITA, THE SECOND VARIATION A housemaid? A schoolgirl? Servant?
I remind of all of them at once.
I`m a doll, an artless tomboy,
Innocent and black, and sweet Ms. Vice.
I`m a dream come true, I`m real McCoy,
Men are used to think of girls like us.
On a long and gloomy night while dreaming
They see us, black, glamourous Lolitas.

GOTHIC LOLITA, THE THIRD VARIATION Final touch`s to smooth out the creases,
Otherwise the picture`s incomplete,
Then to add the hemstitched mittens,
In a bow to tie each tail to fit the bills.
White as snow vinyl knickers
Shine as pocket flashlights, a death`s kiss.
If it`s wrong or right, it doesn`t matter:
Walking in the streets, I`m raptly stared.
GOTHIC LOLITA, THE FOURTH VARIATION Even a beauty in the altogether
Gonna hardly thrill you more
Than a children`s style short outwear
And a kinky underwear spied upon.
Yet a gown`s but a part of the endeavour,
As you should be individual, first of all.
Like a sunlight spot I flash, and disappear,
Leaving after me a glimpse of a true thriller.
