[Verse 1]
                    C                     Am
Cause he gets up in the morning
               C                  Am
And he goes to work at nine
C                                          Am
And he comes back home at five-thirty
                     C               Am
Gets the same train every time
                    C                         Am    C
Cause his world is built round punctuality
              Am
It never fails

[Chorus]
              C         Am
And he's oh, so good
                C      Am
And he's oh, so fine
                 C             Am
And he's oh, so healthy
            C              Am
In his body and his mind
             F                   Em
He's a well respected man about town
 F                               D                    G
Doing the best things so conservatively

[Verse 2]
                    C                   Am
And his mother goes to meetings
                  C                  Am
While his father pulls the maid
                    C                   Am
And she stirs the tea with councilors
              C                       Am
While discussing foreign trade
                  C            Am              C
And she passes looks, as well as bills
                 Am
At every suave young man

[Ulangi Chorus]

[Verse 3]
             C                      Am
And he likes his own backyard
               C                    Am
And he likes his fags the best
                   C                Am
Cause he's better than the rest
                  C                       Am
And his own sweat smells the best
                    C                     Am       C
And he hopes to grab his fathers loot
            Am
When pater passes on

[Ulangi Chorus]

[Verse 4]
               C           Am
And he plays at stocks and shares
                   C           Am
And he goes to the regatta
             C                   Am
And he adores the girl next door
                              C              Am
Cause he's dying to get at her
                C                        Am             C
But his mother knows the best about
                Am
The matrimonial stakes

[Ulangi Chorus]
