Lyrics

Sophistophone, aristocrats  
Distinguished stars, clean up your acts  
Pull up your pants, ladies and gents  
Please, act like you got some sense  
You know what I really want to know?  
Where do all the good girls go  
What clubs they hang in?  
  
[Chorus]  
Behold a lady  
I see you standin' on the wall  
Clap, clap, you deserve it all [Repeat]  
Candy-coated unicorns are quite hard to find  
The classic lady, a rare breed indeed  
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  
You're the anchor that holds me down  
When my ship is sinking  
You won't let me drown and I'm grateful  
  
[Chorus]  
  
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, you're so plain Jane  
The yin to my yang, darlin'  
You've got that thang and you know it  
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!)  
Hoo! You're the anchor that holds me down  
When my ship is sinking, you won't let me drown  
  
Sad, but one day our kids will have to visit museums  
To see what a lady looks like  
So if you find one, I beg you, hold her tight  
If you spot one, good sir, treat her right  
This is Benjamin Andre signing off  
Thanks a million  
Good luck and goodnight.
