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. |
