“What’s better than roses on your piano?”/“Tulips on your organ.”
The organ has been the subject of many sex jokes. One popular pun is:
Q; What’s better than roses on your piano?
A: Tulips on your organ.
The oral sex joke has been cited in print since at least 1981.
“What’s worse than spiders on your piano?”/“Crabs on your organ” is a similar riddle.
