lyrics

Em G A
I think that you’re kinda wild, but is that Wilde with an “e”
C Bb
You’re man enough for the movies, but you would rather the the…
Em G A
…ate’er out for the image. Play it up for the crowd
C Bb
Get a couple drinks in ya and you’re coming out proud
G D C
You’re a little bit rough & a little bit randy
A G
(You’re made of much finer stuff) You are a real Butch Dandy
D C
Lick it down to the center in the hard shell candy
A Em G D A
(You got the sugar and spice) You are a real Butch Dandy
Em G A
You work it out in the week so you can go to the ball
C Bb
Where all the teenagers tweak and they cum when you call
Em G A
Boy in another direction you’re the director’s boy
C Bb
Will you return his affection, are you coming off coy CHORUS:
C D C
Bridge: With just a hint of a lisp, you keep the tailoring crisp
A Em G D A
It’s written up in the rags when you’re at home its a drag
Em G A
You can just blow it off, leave the talk on the shelf
C Bb
But are you being your image or are you being yourself
Em G A
You’ve got to smile for the photos, you might as well have some fun
C Bb
Just leave behind #2 and look out for #1 CHORUS
