Too Good for the Average Man

Lyrics

[SERGEI] When Russia was white It was white for the classes And black for the masses Unfortunate asses All wealth belonged to few [PEGGY] When England was Tudor The king and his cronies Had cocktails at Tony's The poor had baloneys And that's how England grew [SERGEI & PEGGY] Sing la and huzzah for the poor folks As long as the poor folks are your folks [PEGGY] Finer things are for the finer folk Thus society began Caviar for peasants is a joke It's too good for the average man [SERGEI] Supper clubs are for the upper folk Packed like sardines in a can Through the smoke you get your check and choke It's too good for the average man [PEGGY] Each poor man has a wife he must stick to Rich men have a different habit To be caught in flagrante delecto Is much too good for the average rabbit [SERGEI] All night parties, drinking like a lord Fit into our social plan Waking in the alcoholic ward Is too good for the average man Rich old age can blossom like a rose Plastic surgeons have a plan Cutting off your face to spite your nose Is too good for the average man [PEGGY] Fancy food is for the fancy taste Diet's for the poorer man Gaining too much weight below your waist Is too good for the average can Baseball stars marry girls who are cookies What they get is what they reckoned But it sure must be hell for the rookies To get on first and be thrown out at second [SERGEI] Psychoanalysts are all the whirl Rich men pay them all they can Waking up to find that he's a girl Is too good for the average man [SERGEI & PEGGY] It's too good for the average man
