The Proper Ornaments |
Ba Ba Ba… |
Ornaments of Life, ornaments of life |
There’s your brand new car, sir, here’s your hat and gloves |
There’s your pretty wife, sir, whom you almost love |
There’s your color TV set and your impressive pad |
There’s your little baby girl you’re almost glad you had |
Such a pretty dress, miss, such a graceful walk |
Bubbling femininity, authoritative talk |
There’s your man he’s prominent; |
treats you like a queen |
All your little secrets kept, your reputations clean |
The proper ornaments of life. |
Gotta have status |
Have a paid vacation, |
Have an intellectual education |
Ornaments of life |
Proper ornaments of life |
Fur coats, jewels and laces, bright red lipstick, big cars, money, |
tuxes and top hats |
Hide behind the mask of clothes and makeup: ornaments |
There’s your brand new car, sir, here’s your hat and gloves |
There’s your pretty wife, sir, whom you almost love |
There’s your color TV set and your impressive pad |
There’s your little baby girl you’re almost glad you had |
What’s behind that countenance |
What’s behind the lace, |
What is in your mind and heart |
Thats hidden by your face |
Behind the ornaments in your life? |
Ba, ba, ba. |
