rate me

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