Aim for the body rare, youll see it on tv
The worst thing in 1954 was the bikini
See the girl on the tv dressed in a bikini
She doesnt think so but shes dressed for the h-bomb
(for the h-bomb)

I found that essence rare, its what I looked for
I knew Id 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 wouldnt think so but theyre holding themselves down
(hold themselves down)

I found that essence rare, its what I looked for
I knew Id get what I asked for

I found that essence rare, its what I looked for
I knew Id get what I asked for

Aim for politicians fair wholl treat your vote hope well
The last thing theyll ever do act in your interest
Look at the world through your polaroid glasses
Thingsll look a whole lot better for the working classes
(working classes)

I found that essence rare, its what I looked for
I knew Id get what I asked for

I found that essence rare, its what I looked for
I knew Id get what I asked for
