Well Respected Man
Words and Music by: Ray Davies
Performed by: The Kinks (1965)
Sequenced by: Ron Tilden

'Cause he gets up in the morning,
And he goes to work at nine.

And he comes back home at fivethirty,
Gets the same train ev'ry time.

'Cause his world is built on 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 the maid.

And she stirs her tea with councilors
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 hope's 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 at stocks and shares,
And he goes to the Regatta.

And 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.
