Talent Is an Asset

Albert is smart, he's a genius

Watch Albert putter, an obvious genius

Someday he will reassess the world

And he'll still have time for lots of girls

When he grows up, he'll remember us

When he grows up, we are sure that he'll remember us

We made sure that Albert wore his mac

We kept all the strangers off his back

Go away

Everything's relative

"Go away," Albert's mother does say to me

We are his relatives and he don't need any non-relatives

Talent is an asset

You've got to understand that

Talent is an asset

And little Albert has it

Talent is an asset

And Albert surely has it

One day, he'll sever his apron strings

All of the while he'll be scribbling things, genius things

Look at Albert, isn't he a sight?

Growing, growing at the speed of light

Go away

Everything's relative

"Go away," Albert's mother does say to me

We are his relatives and he don't need any non-relatives

Talent is an asset

And little Albert has it

(Go away) Talent is relative

(Go away) That's hypothetical

(Go away) We are his relatives

(Go away) That's parenthetical

(Go away) Spare your superlatives

(Go away) There's the receptacle

(Go away) There's the receptacle

(Go away) Leave Albert's study room

(Go away) Leave Albert's happy home

(Go away) Leave Albert's neighborhood

(Go away) Leave Albert's city, too

(Go away) Leave Albert's country seat

(Go away) Leave Albert's country

(Go away) Leave Albert's continent

(Go away) Leave Albert's hemisphere

(Go away) Leave Albert's planet, too

(Go away) Leave Albert's universe

(Go away) No one must see him now

(Go away) Only the medical

(Go away) No one must downgrade him

(Go away) Don't be too cynical

(Go away) Don't be too critical

(Go away) Cancel the magazines

(Go away) They're much too political

(Go away) Don't buy him any jeans

(Go away) They're much too casual

(Go away) Talent is relative

(Go away) That's hypothetical

(Go away) We are his relatives
