Lyrics

[Intro]
Sophisti-funk, aristocats
Distinguished dogs, clean up your act
Pull up your pants, ladies and gents
Please, act like you got some sense
You know what I really wanna know?
Where do all the good girls go?
What club they hang at?
[Chorus]
Behold
A lady
I see you standing on the wall
Clap, clap, you deserve it all
[Chorus]
Behold
Candy-coated unicorns are
A lady
Quite hard to find
I see you standing on the wall
The classic lady, a rare breed indeed
Clap, clap, you deserve it all
Is that make and model discontinued?
[Verse 1]
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—
[PreChorus]
Oh, you're the anchor that holds me down
When my ship is sinking, you won't let me drown
And I'm grateful
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
[Chorus]
Behold
Maybe they disappeared with the dinosaurs?
A lady
Oh, but that's such a Big Bang Theory
I see you standing on the wall
Maybe they're still around?
Clap, clap, you deserve it all
But only to be seen with appreciative eyes
[Chorus]
Behold
Maybe they were taken for granted?
A lady
And lost all their magic
I see you standing on the wall
Oh, how awful
Clap, clap, you deserve it all
Oh, so tragic
[Verse 2]
Yo' mama's old-fashioned, yo' daddy don't play
Fashioned, 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 extra, you're so plain Jane
The ying to my yang, darlin', you've got that thang
And you know it, but yet you don't
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
[PreChorus]
Oh, you're the anchor that holds me down
When my ship is sinking, you won't let me drown, ah-ah-ah-ah
Sad, but one day our kids will have to visit museums
To see what a lady looks like
[Chorus]
Behold
So if you find one, I beg you, hold her tight
A lady
Yes, if you spot one, good sir, treat her right
I see you standing on the wall
Benjamin André, signing off
I see you standing on the wall
Clap, clap, you deserve it all
Thanks a million
Good luck and goodnight
[Chorus]
Behold
A lady
I see you standing on the wall
Clap, clap, you deserve it all
[Chorus]
Behold
A lady
I see you standing on the wall
Clap, clap, you deserve it all
[Chorus]
Behold
A lady
I see you standing on the wall
