A Well Respected Man

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 And his world is built on punctuality That never fails 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 his mother goes to meetings While his father pulls the maid She stirs the tea with counselors While discussing foreign trade 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 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
