Well, la di da, just look at you. I see how far you’ve climbed. You think the common words you speak sound like sweet poems rhymed? So are you really all that great? That sparkling new veneer you show to us – with a few swipes I know I could besmear. Oh, la di da, you act as if in awe we should kowtow to you, who think you’ve got a roar. It’s just a cat’s meow. I know the you that lies beneath the fancy clothes you wear. You think you’re better than old friends - yet still breathe our same air So, la di da, Oh, la di da to you and all your kind. With toilet paper all the rich are wiping their behind. No different or better than the rest of us are you. You married up, but give it time . . . your act he will see through.
