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 councillors,
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 backyard
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 fathers 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,
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.
