Lời bài hát
0:12When russia was white
0:13It was white for the classes
0:15And black for the masses
0:17Unfortunate asses
0:18All wealth belonged to few
0:22When England was Tudor
0:25The king and his cronies
0:27Had cocktails at Tony's
0:29The poor had baloneys
0:31And that's how England grew
0:35Sing lah and huzzah for the poor folks
0:38As long as the poor folks are your folks
0:43Finer things are for the finer folk
0:47Thus society began
0:51Caviar for peasants is a joke
0:55It's too good for the average man
1:00Supper clubs are for the upper folk
1:05Packed like sardines in a can
1:09Through the smoke you get your check and choke
1:13It's too good for the average man
1:18Each poor man has a wife he must stick to
1:22Men of fashion can be cocky
1:27To be caught in flagrante delecto
1:31Is much too good for the average monkey
1:36All night parties drinking like a lord
1:41Fit into our social plan
1:45Waking in the alcoholic ward
1:49Is too good for the average man
2:04Fancy nerves are for the fancy class
2:08Since psychiatry began
2:13Neurostania isn't for the mass
2:17It's too good for the average man
2:22Rich old age can blossom like a rose
2:26Plastic surgeons have a plan
2:31Cutting up your face to spite your nose
2:35It's too good for the average man
2:40Lots of kids for a poor wife or dandy
2:45Girls of fashion can be choosy
2:49Birth control and the modus operandi
2:54Are much too good for the average floozy
2:59Psychoanalysts are all the world
3:03Rich men pay them all they can
3:08Waking up to find that he's a girl
3:12It's too good for the average man
