No finery needed, no gilded prose
save the flair in cursive italics or sans two roman
leave the ivory quill and the Conqueror Watermark
cast aside the masonry engraver and withhold the granite
and need not festoon the Town-crier
for this I say to anyone's face
I say it in fine fettle and unassailable heartfelt truth
I say it as clearly as a nightingale's single tenor note
  I say it as the owned thunderous roar of the alpha lion
I'll even trumpet it as the rousing praises of immaculate cherubs

" Look, look, look as much as you like
run for binoculars, telescopes and magnifying glasses
get goggles, get Ray bans, get monocles and even Pince-nez
and
Look, look, look as much as you like"

What has a blameless man got to hide
what does a decent man feel ashamed about
what skeleton is hidden in my closet,
what blood do I have on my hands
Did I go breaking into my neighbour's house
was I going about borrowing and begging
did I go bedding under aged girls
or rolling about drunk and incapacitated in the square

" Look, look, look as much as you like
run for binoculars, telescopes and magnifying glasses
get goggles, get Ray bans, get monocles and even Pince-nez
and
Look, look, look as much as you like"

Look and see a man of sublime distinction
see the one others wish they could be like
find courage, bravery, character and flowing senses
see the saving graces of honesty and truth in quiet wisdom
see the strength of uncorrupted essence and tolerance
see he who thrives on merit and abilities
see the wit, versatility and unassuming intelligence of a real man

so please
" Look, look, look as much as you like
run for binoculars, telescopes and magnifying glasses
get goggles, get Ray bans, get monocles and even Pince-nez
and
Look, look, look as much as you like"
