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
