Lyrics:
How respectable
How respectable
Let's turn the lights on
Let's turn the lights on
Let's turn the lights on now
When will I be old enough to do
telling me, I simply don't fit in
I wasn't you see, cut out to be, a respectable citizen
At balls and dinner parties, I'm always the only one
Who is quite
There was a love affair in this building
The kind of love affair
Which every respectable building must keep as a legend
Slowly festering through
tryna lose it i messed up
I messed up, yeah i messed up (I mean)
Yeah (We all do, check this, uh)
I mean we started out respectable
Was just a good time
gonna go nowhere
Get yer hair cut, get crew cut, get a suit
Get a white shirt, get a job, be respectable
Get a good shave, get a shoe line, manicure
To be a respectable man
So won't you listen won't you listen to me
I'm breaking the law if you don't give me more than public attention
I'm
have a burglar alarm
To keep my family from harm,
I wanna be marginal middle class,
I wanna be respectable middle class,
I wanna hire a kid to cut
m'cherches j'suis dans mon square
J'respecte que des respectables
Que des bonhommes à ma table
J'les vois regarder ma veste
Qui coûte plus cher que la boîte
like most I'm respectable
No ski not flexible
For her am i am acceptable aye
Now I'm incredible no, I'm not Terrible
My girl call me unforgettable
Sick
during this era
A lot of the hobos were respectable men and rode the rods
Because it provided a dependable means of travel which they could afford
And some
him in a by - street, you may see him in the square
But when a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!
He's outwardly respectable, I know he
of the oncoming yard. But many quite respectable men find it convenient to
hop trains also and many of them died identifed only as a railroad bum
And I would
right
Get the balance right
Be responsible, respectable
Stable but gullible
Concerned and caring
Help the helpless
But always remain
Ultimately
delightful to hold
The naughty lady of shady lane she's delectable quite respectable
And she's only nine days old
Compromise, and sometimes lie
Get the balance right
Get the balance right
Be responsible, respectable
Stable but gullible
Concerned and caring
Help
babe" thought not respectable, ain't so object able
It's kind of crummy but chummy
Of course if I got married, that would do it
So, where's the lucky
All I do, is dine with'm
And split a pint of wine with'm
Respectable as can be
Yet here's what they say to me
You've got that look
That look
time I rap, I bust what cha like
'cause I'm the coldest MC to ever touch the mic (2x)
verse 2:
They trips when I flips cause I'm nothing respectable
open spaces
Everybody gotta weird sensation
That they wanna keep trapped inside
Maybe it's a sexual deviation
Hiding beneath a respectable guise
If
Is taking a chance on me taking a chance
I'll be respectable and nice
Give up cards and dice
And go for shoes and rice
So gentlemen, deal me out
Do not
understand, baby)
Baby, it's cold outside
I simply should go (text me when you get home)
Oh, I'm supposed to say no (mm, I guess that's respectable)
This
you think you're pushing round,
This towns respectable and clean,
Just look around you'll see what I mean.
[Chorus]
Down home town, down home
I asked the policeman
Can I stay here long
He said Mr. Hobo you got to go now
We don't want you around
See I'm trying to build a respectable
In some respects, I suspect you've got a respectable side
When pushed and pulled and pressured, you still don't want to hide
But it's for someone
