Gets the same

It never fails
.
[Chorus 1]
And he's oh, s

And he's oh, s

And he's oh, s

In his body an

Doing the best
things so con
servatively.
[Verse 2]
And his mother
goes to meeti

While his fath

And she stirs

While discussi

And she passes
looks, as wel
l as bills
At every suave
young man.
[Chorus 2]
And he's oh, s

And he's oh, s

o fine,
And he's oh, s

In his body an

He's a well re

Doing the best
things so con
servatively.

And he likes h

And his own sw

And he hopes t

When pater pas

Doing the best

[Verse 4]
And he plays a

And he goes to

And he adores
the girl next

Cos' he's dyin

But his mother

The matrimonia

[Chorus 4]
