A Well Respected Man

'Cause he gets up in the mornin'\nAnd he goes to work at nine\nAnd he comes back home at five-thirty\nGets the same train every time\n'Cause his world is built on punctuality\nIt never fails\nAnd he’s oh, so good\nAnd he’s oh, so fine\nAnd he’s oh, so healthy\nIn his body and his mind\nHe’s a well-respected man-about-town\nDoin' the best things so conservatively\nAnd his mother goes to meetings\nWhile his father pulls the maid\nAnd she stirs the tea with councilors\nWhile discussin' foreign trade\nAnd she passes looks as well as bills\nAt every suave young man\nAnd he’s oh, so good\nAnd he’s oh, so fine\nAnd he’s oh, so healthy\nIn his body and his mind\nHe’s a well-respected man-about-town\nDoin' the best things so conservatively\nAnd he likes his own backyard\nAnd he likes his fags the best\n'Cause he’s better than the rest\nAnd his own sweat smells the best\nAnd he hopes to have his father’s loot\nWhen pater passes on\n'Cause he’s oh, so good\nAnd he’s oh, so fine\nAnd he’s oh, so healthy\nIn his body and his mind\nHe’s a well-respected man-about-town\nDoin' the best things so conservatively\nAnd he plays the barhop\nAnd he goes to a regatta\nHe adores the girl next door\n'Cause he’s dyin' to get at her\nBut his mother knows the best about\nThe matrimonial stakes\n'Cause he’s oh, so good\nAnd he’s oh, so fine\nAnd he’s oh, so healthy\nIn his body and his mind\nHe’s a well-respected man-about-town\nDoin' the best things so conservatively
