Too Good For The Average Man

Lyrics for Too Good For The Average Man

When Russia was white, it was white for the classes And black for the masses, unfortunate asses All wealth belonged to few When England was Tudor, the king and his cronies Had cocktails at Tony's, the poor had baloney's And that's how England grew Sing la and huzzah for the poor folks As long as the poor folks are your folks Finer things are for the finer folk The society began Caviar for peasants is a joke It's too good for the average man Supper clubs are for the upper folk Packed like sardines in a can Through the smoke you get your check and choke It's too good for the average man Each poor man has a wife he must stick to Men of fashion can be cocky To be caught in flagrante delicto Is much too good for the average monkey All night parties, drinking like a lord Fit into our social plan Waking in the alcoholic ward Is too good for the average man Fancy nerves are for the fancy class Since psychiatry began Neurosenia isn't for the mass It's too good for the average man Rich old age can blossom like a rose Plastic surgeons have a plan Cutting up your face to spite your nose It's too good for the average man Lots of kids for a poor wife are dandy Girls of fashion can be choosy Birth control and the modus operandi Are much too good for the average floozy Psycho-analysts are all the whirl Rich men pay them all they can Waking up to find that he's a girl It's too good for the average man
