Lyrics

Aim for the body rare, you'll see it on TV The worst thing in 1954 was the bikini See the girl on the TV dressed in a bikini She doesn't think so but she's dressed for the H-Bomb I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for I knew I'd get what I asked for Aim for the country fair, you read it in the papers The worst happens any week, a scandal on the front page See the happy pair smiling close like they are monkeys They wouldn't think so but they're holding themselves down I found that essence rare It's what I looked for I knew I'd get what I asked for I found that essence rare It's what I looked for I knew I'd get what I asked for Aim for politicians fair who'll treat your vote hope well The last thing they'll ever do, act in your interest Look at the world through your polaroid glasses Things'll look a whole lot better for the working classes I found that essence rare It's what I looked for I knew I'd get what I asked for I found that essence rare It's what I looked for I knew I'd get what I asked for
