A Well Respected Man

Lyrics

'Cause he gets up in the morning
 And he goes to work at nine
 And he comes back home at five-thirty
 Gets the same train every time
 'Cause his world is built 'round punctuality
 It never fails
 And he's oh, so good
 And he's oh, so fine
 And he's oh, so healthy
 In his body and his mind
 He's a well respected man about town
 Doing the best things so conservatively
 And his mother goes to meetings
 While his father pulls the maid
 And she stirs the tea with councilors
 While discussing foreign trade
 And she passes looks, as well as bills
 At every suave young man
 'Cause he's oh, so good
 And he's oh, so fine
 And he's oh, so healthy
 In his body and his mind
 He's a well respected man about town
 Doing the best things so conservatively
 And he likes his own backyardd
 And he likes his fags the best
 'Cause he's better than the rest
 And his own sweat smells the best
 And he hopes to grab his father's loot
 When Pater passes on
 'Cause he's oh, so good
 And he's oh, so fine
 And he's oh, so healthy
 In his body and his mind
 He's a well respected man about town
 Doing the best things so conservatively
 And he plays at stocks and shares
 And he goes to the regatta
 And he adores the girl next door
 'Cause he's dying to get at her
 But his mother knows the best about
 The matrimonial stakes
 'Cause he's oh, so good
 And he's oh, so fine
 And he's oh, so healthy
 In his body and his mind
 He's a well respected man about town
 Doing the best things so conservatively
