The Proper Ornaments - The Free Design

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.
