'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 a maid
And she stirs her 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 father's 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 the
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
