If you're the type not vexed by 'Joy of Lex',
The best letter is rated 'XX'.
It's boxed in the slot before 'Y',
Sly x-axis, it seldom rides high,
Best letter is rated 'XX'.
Best letter is rated 'XX'.
Now there's, No 'x' in Nixon
No 'x' Al, knit on; toot no tin klaxon
"Laid Fixes" - sex, if dial
Max. esteem meets exam
Sex-aware era waxes
Six axons, no x-axis.
Mix a maxim. No 'x' - a Saxon.
Just flex to the nexus of this text,
Your next exit past Texas and New Mex,
Best letter is rated 'XX'.
The best jest is "Xerox, O Rex."
Best letter is rated 'XX'.
Get relaxed with the moxie of this text,
More exotic than Texas or New Mex,
The letter that ends "Joy of Lex".
That letter is rated 'XX'.
The best letter is rated 'XX'.

Best letter is rated 'XX'.
Not 'UF', not on futon!
No 'yarn' in rayon
Un nu? No! it's a bare-era bastion
Lapse - porno on ropes, pal
Llama - nix in a mall
Sex at my gym taxes
Six at my gym? Taxis!
Sod-lid dildos. Sex-elf flexes.
Get relaxed with the moxie of this text,
More exotic than Texas or New Mex,
The letter that ends "Joy of Lex".
That letter is rated 'XX'.
The best letter is rated 'XX'.
