Lyrics
Sophistafunk, aristocats Distinguished dogs, clean up your acts Pull up your pants, ladies and gents Please, act like you got some sense You know what I really wanna know? Where do all the good girls go? What clubs they hang at? Behold A lady I see you standing on the wall Clap, clap, you deserve it all Behold (candy-coated unicorns are) A lady (quite hard to find) I see you standing on the wall (The classic lady, a rare breed indeed) Clap, clap, you deserve it all (Is that make and model discontinued?) Today, I might snow, tomorrow, I'll rain 3000's always changing but you stay the same And I need that Hey, I need that (in my life) When I feel washed up and inadequate And throw all my songs away, no matter how mad I get You make me smile, you make me smile You make me smile, you make me (oh) You're the anchor that holds me down When my ship is sinking, you won't let me drown And I'm grateful (oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) Behold (maybe they disappeared with the dinosaurs?) A lady (oh, but that's such a Big Bang Theory) I see you standing on the wall (maybe they're still around?) Clap, clap, you deserve it all (But only to be seen with appreciative eyes) Behold (maybe they were taken for granted?) A lady (and lost all their magic) I see you standing on the wall (oh, how awful) Clap, clap, you deserve it all (oh, so tragic) Yo mama's old-fashioned, yo' daddy don't play You'll always be this lovely 'cause they raised you that way Hallelujah! Thank ya, Jesus! Thank ya, Lord! Thank ya, Jesus! Thank ya, Lord! Thank ya, Jesus! Thank ya, Lord! You're not extra extra, you're so plain Jane The ying to my yang, darlin', you've got that thang And you know it, but yet you don't But yet you don't and that's what's so cool You don't say too much, but when you do, it's profound In the street, you hold your head high At home, you get low down for me (Can't get no lower, can't get no lower, can't get no lower, yeah) Oh, you're the anchor that holds me down When my ship is sinking, you won't let me drown, ah-ah-ah-ah Sad, but one day our kids will have to visit museums To see what a lady looks like Behold (so if you find one, I beg you, hold her tight) A lady (yes, if you spot one, good sir, treat her right) I see you standing on the wall (Benjamin André, signing off) Clap, clap, you deserve it all (thanks a million) (Good luck and goodnight) Behold A lady I see you standing on the wall Clap, clap, you deserve it all Behold A lady I see you standing on the wall Clap, clap, you deserve it all Behold A lady I see you standing on the wall
