[00:00.55] A Well Respected Man
[00:03.74] cause he gets up in the morning,
[00:05.30]
[00:05.86] And he goes to work at nine,
[00:07.98]
[00:08.66] And he comes back home at five-thirty,
[00:11.47] Gets the same train every time.
[00:13.73]
[00:14.28] cause his world is built round punctuality,
[00:17.72] It never fails.
[00:19.03]
[00:19.59] And hes oh, so good,
[00:21.59]
[00:22.27] And hes oh, so fine,
[00:24.33]
[00:24.89] And hes oh, so healthy,
[00:27.33] In his body and his mind.
[00:29.51]
[00:30.20] Hes a well respected man about town,
[00:33.50] Doing the best things so conservatively.
[00:36.43]
[00:38.68] And his mother goes to meetings,
[00:40.93] While his father pulls the maid,
[00:42.99]
[00:43.80] And she stirs the tea with councilors,
[00:46.36] While discussing foreign trade,
[00:48.17]
[00:49.04] And she passes looks, as well as bills
[00:51.85] At every suave young man
[00:53.59]
[00:54.22] cause hes oh, so good,
[00:56.47] And hes oh, so fine,
[00:58.65]
[00:59.46] And hes oh, so healthy,
[01:02.09] In his body and his mind.
[01:04.21]
[01:04.89] Hes a well respected man about town,
[01:08.01] Doing the best things so conservatively.
[01:10.51]
[01:13.00] And he likes his own backyard,
[01:15.62] And he likes his fags the best,
[01:17.62]
[01:18.31] cause hes better than the rest,
[01:20.31]
[01:20.99] And his own sweat smells the best,
[01:23.05]
[01:23.62] And he hopes to grab his fathers loot,
[01:26.56] When pater passes on.
[01:28.99] cause hes oh, so good,
[01:32.19] And hes oh, so fine,
[01:34.23] And hes oh, so healthy,
[01:36.79] In his body and his mind.
[01:40.74] Hes a well respected man about town,
[01:42.42] Doing the best things so conservatively.
[01:48.31] And he plays at stocks and shares,
[01:51.10] And he goes to the regatta,
[01:53.37] And he adores the girl next door,
[01:55.99] cause hes dying to get at her,
[01:58.68] But his mother knows the best about
[02:01.05]
[02:01.61] The matrimonial stakes.
[02:03.05]
[02:03.86] cause hes oh, so good,
[02:05.73]
[02:06.48] And hes oh, so fine,
[02:08.47]
[02:09.10] And hes oh, so healthy,
[02:11.66] In his body and his mind.
[02:13.78]
[02:14.47] Hes a well respected man about town,
[02:17.65] Doing the best things so conservatively.
