<b>keepin' up appearances</b> by <i>Bruno Deneckere</i><br />I'm keepin' up appearances

I want the world to see

that a long pursuit of happiness

is a thing of the past for me

I love my little sweetie like I ought to

and she loves me like a mother

she pointed out the road for me

I walk and I don't bother

I'm keepin' up appearances

I always wear a smile

a suit to match, a felten hat

in the I'm-so-lucky style

I ain't got no complaints and I live like a saint

I embrace the life I lead

troubles are old, I stay away from the cold

and I avoid the possible heat

I'm keepin' up appearances

I want everyone to know

that the man who stands in front of them

is not more nor less than he shows

I love my little honey-bee like I ought to

and she loves me like a mother

she pointed out the road for me

I walk and I don't bother
