G

[Verse 1]

          C    C/B     Am             C     C/B      Am

         C         C/B     Am                    C         C/B   Am
And he comes back home at five thirty, gets the same train every time
          C        C/B     Am     C        C/B  Am
Cos his world is built on punctuality, it never fails


[Chorus]

         C C/B Am             C C/B Am
Cos he's oh so good, and he's oh so fine

Doing the best things so conservatively


[Verse 2]

          C    C/B     Am             C     C/B      Am
And his mother goes to meetings while his father pulls the maid
         C         C/B     Am                     C         C/B   Am
And she stirs the tea with councillors while discussing foreign trade
          C        C/B     Am     C       C/B  Am
And she passes looks as well as bills at every suave young man ...

         C         C/B     Am                    C         C/B   Am
Cos he's better than the rest and his arm sweat smells the best
          C        C/B     Am     C        C/B  Am
And he hopes to grab his father's loot when Pater passes on ...


[Chorus]

Cos he's oh so good, and he's oh so fine

[Verse 4]

          C    C/B     Am             C     C/B      Am
And he plays the stocks and shares and he goes to a regatta
         C         C/B     Am                    C         C/B   Am
He adores the girl next door cos he's dying to get at her
          C        C/B     Am     C        C/B  Am
But his mother knows the best about the matrimonial stakes ...

Cos he's oh so good, and he's oh so fine

And he's oh so healthy in his body and his mind

He's a well respected man about town
