The Proper Ornaments

Ba Ba Ba...
 Ornaments of Life, ornaments of life
 There's your brand new car, sir, here's your hat and gloves
 There's your pretty wife, sir, whom you almost love
 There's your color TV set and your impressive pad
 There's your little baby girl you're almost glad you had
 Such a pretty dress, miss, such a graceful walk
 Bubbling femininity, authoritative talk
 There's your man he's prominent; treats you like a queen
 All your little secrets kept, your reputations clean
 The proper ornaments of life.
 Gotta have status
 have a paid vacation,
 have an intellectual education
 ornaments of life
 proper ornaments of life
 fur coats, jewels and laces, bright red lipstick, big cars, money, tuxes and top hats
 hide behind the mask of clothes and makeup: ornaments
 There's your brand new car, sir, here's your hat and gloves
 There's your pretty wife, sir, whom you almost love
 There's your color TV set and your impressive pad
 There's your little baby girl you're almost glad you had
 What's behind that countenance
 What's behind the lace,
 What is in your mind and heart
 Thats hidden by your face
 Behind the ornaments in your life?
 Ba, ba, ba.
