Version 2 of the lyrics

'Cause he gets up in the morning and he goes to work at nine

'Cause he gets up in the mornin',

And he comes back home at five-thirty, gets the same train every time

And he goes to work at nine,

'Cause his world is built 'round punctuality, it never fails

And he comes back home at five-thirty,

Gets the same train every time.

And he's oh, so good, and he's oh, so fine

'Cause his world is built on punctuality,

And he's oh, so healthy in his body and his mind

It never fails.

He's a well respected man about town

Doing the best things so conservatively

And he's, oh, so good,

And he's, oh, so fine,

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

And he's, oh, so healthy,

And she stirs the tea with councilors while discussing foreign trade

In his body and his mind.

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

He's a well respected man about town,

Doin' the best things so conservatively.

And he's oh, so good, and he's oh, so fine

And he's oh, so healthy in his body and his mind

And his mother goes to meetings,

He's a well respected man about town

While his father pulls the maid,

Doing the best things so conservatively

And she stirs the tea with councilors,

While discussin' foreign trade,

And he likes his own backyard and he likes his fags the best

And she passes looks, as well as bills

'Cause he's better than the rest and his own sweat smells the best

At every suave young man

And he hopes to grab his father's loot, when pater passes on

'Cause he's, oh, so good,

'Cause he's oh, so good, and he's oh, so fine

And he's, oh, so fine,

And he's oh, so healthy in his body and his mind

And he's, oh, so healthy,

He's a well respected man about town

In his body and his mind.

Doing the best things so conservatively

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

He adores the girl next door 'cause he's dying to get at her

And he likes his own backyard,

But his mother knows the best about the matrimonial stakes

And he likes his fags the best,

'Cause he's better than the rest,

'Cause he's oh, so good, and he's oh, so fine

And his own sweat smells the best,

And he's oh, so healthy in his body and his mind

And he hopes to grab his father's loot,

He's a well respected man about town

When pater passes on.

Doing the best things so conservatively

'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,

Doin' 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 dyin' 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,

Doin' the best things so conservatively.
