I Found That Essence Rare

Aim for the body, rare you'll see it on TV

The worst thing in 1954 was the bikini

See the girl on the TV, dressed in the bikini

She doesn't think so but she's dressed for the H-bomb

For the H-bomb

And I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for

And I knew I'd get what I asked for

Aim for the country fair, you read it in the papers

The worst happens any week, a scandal on the front page

See the happy pair smiling close, like they're monkeys

They wouldn't think so, but they're holding themselves down

Holding themselves down

And I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for

And I knew I'd get what I asked for

And I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for

And I knew I'd get what I asked for

Aim for politicians fair, who'll treat your vote-hope well

The last thing they'll ever do is act in your interest

They look at the world through their Polaroid glasses

And things seem a whole lot better for the working classes

Working classes

And I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for

And I knew I'd get what I asked for

And I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for

And I knew I'd get what I asked for
