Never need to be told
Savoir-faire and a tan get you by

Dom Perignon
A bay mare from a roan
This we know from the time we're knee high

Girls wear pearls and a long white dress
Gentlemen wear ascots from J Press

People like us
Go for loafers or ducks
Cotton, madras, and khaki are key

But renting a stable
And flashing a label
Seem terribly tacky to me

Contact sports are find for jocks
We sit watching with bloodies on the rocks

Fail at Yale
Disgrace St. Paul
Once your out it's who you know, that's all

People like us
Have been known to occasionally
Dibble dabble in lust

Tough luck for l'amour
A sound marriage is founded
Our merging two family trusts

Blue blood breeding of genes begets
Hairless bodies that never ever sweat

It's all a tailored world
Custom made to last
One might say the future
Really is the past
