Karaoke A Well Respected Man The Kinks

'Cos he gets up in the mornin'

And he goes to work at nine

And he comes back home at five-thirty

Gets the same train every time

'Cos 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

Doin' the best things so conservatively

And his mother goes to meetings while his father pulls the maid

And she stirs the tea with councilors while discussin' foreign trade

And she passes looks as well as bills at every suave young man

'Cos 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

Doin' the best things so conservatively

And he likes his own backyard

And he likes his fags the best

'Cos 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

'Cos 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

Doin' the best things so conservatively

And he plays at stocks and shares

And he goes to the Regatta

And he adores the girl next door 'cos he's dyin' to get at her

But his mother knows the best about the matrimonial stakes

'Cos 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

Doin' the best things so conservatively
