Doing 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 discussing foreign trade 
And she passes looks as well as Bill's at every suave young man ...

Chorus 

And he likes his own backyard and he likes his fags the best 
Cos he's better than the rest and his arm sweat smells the best 
And he hope to grab his father's loot when Pater passes on ...

Chorus 

And he plays the stocks and shares and he goes to a regatta 
He adores the girl next door cos he's dying to get at her 
But his mother knows the best about the matrimonial stakes ...

Chorus
