OK, the actual lyrics, as he does them in the studio, are as
follows:
        A       A sus     A     A sus
A rainy afternoon  
             A      A sus  A   A sus
Spent in the warmest room
     E
She lay before me and said
           D                               A    Asus   A  A sus
"Yes it's true that I have seen some naked men"

As she made for the door
Leaving me on the floor
I wish I'd done biology
For an urge within me wanted to do it then

Chorus:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bragg_billy/warmest_room_crd.html ]
              E
And here she comes again
        D
And I'm sitting on my hands
            A
And she sings to me that siren song
         E                   D                    
Here she comes again and I'm biting my lip
                A      A sus   A    Asus
But it won't be long


As Brother Barry said as he married Marion
The wife has three great attributes, Intelligence, a Swiss Army
   knife and charm
But that's not enough some times
And she did speak her mind
And told them all that she believed
The only way to disarm is to disarm 


Bridge

Bm                    F#m
I know people whose Idea of fun
            D             A            D         A      
Is throwing stones in the river in the afternoon sun
   Bm             F#m
Oh let me be as free as them
       E
Don't let her pass this way again


Instrumental, play chords to the verses


Though you cannot be blamed, but I've become inflamed
With thoughts of lust and thoughts of power
thoughts of love and thoughts of Chairman Mao
We have such little time at your place or mine
I can't wait till we take our blood tests
Oh baby, let's take our blood tests now

Chorus again, then

A    A sus       A      A sus      E      A
     It won't be long

Admittedly, what Uncle Bill says in concert is different.  He tends
to substitute "hairy" for "naked" in verse one and "drugs tests" for
"blood tests" during gigs, as  William judiciously notes.   

"She said it was only a figment of speech..."
