The Flattery Stakes by Greenslade
The Flattery Stakes lyrics
Get what you want while you can
I'm a generous man but no fool
The sequins were sewn on by hand by my mother
The false eye is a jewel
I'm wonderful, so marvellous. but flattery's
superfluous
But when I'm lonely
What's left but a void
So get what you can while you want
I'm a generous man who said fool
The toupee was fashioned by craftsmen, draughtsmen
The cigar is a ruse
I'm meticulous, ridiculous and totally fastidious
But when I'm lonely
I haven't a friend
So get if you want what you can
I'm a generous fool some say man
I'll meet you outside on the pitch with the others
Or one afternoon with a band
Or one afternoon with a band
But when I'm lonely
Who's real and who's who
Get what you want while you can
(If you want it you can get it )
Get what you can while you want
(If you want it you can get it)
Get if you want what you can
