The Kinks - Hombre Respetable/A Well Respected Man

PORQUE ÉL SE LEVANTA POR LA MAÑANA Y SE VA AL TRABAJO A LAS NUEVE, Y REGRESA A CASA A LAS CINCO Y MEDIA, Y TOMA CADA VEZ EL MISMO TREN. PORQUE SU MUNDO ESTÁ CONSTRUIDO EN TORNO A LA PUNTUALIDAD. ÉL NUNCA FALLA. ÉL ES TAN BUENO, ÉL ESTÁ TAN BIEN, ÉL ES TAN SALUDABLE EN SU CUERPO Y SU MENTE. ÉL ES UN HOMBRE RESPETADO EN EL PUEBLO, HACIENDO LO MEJOR TAN CONSERVADORAMENTE. Y SU MADRE VA A LAS JUNTAS MIENTRAS SU PADRE SE METE CON LA SERVIDUMBRE, Y ELLA PREPARA EL TÉ CON LOS CÓNSULES MIENTRAS ELLOS DISCUTEN SOBRE COMERCIO EXTERIOR. Y ELLA REPARTE MIRADAS COMO BILLETES A CADA JOVENCITO. Y A ÉL LE GUSTA REGAR “SU PROPIO JARDÍN”, Y LE ENCANTA TERMINAR AGOTADO PUES ÉL ES MEJOR QUE LOS DEMÁS. Y ESPERA HEREDAR EL BOTÍN DE SU PAPÁ CUANDO ÉSTE SE VAYA AL OTRO MUNDO. Y JUEGA A GUARDAR Y COMPARTIR Y VA A LAS REGATTAS, Y LE ENCANTA SU VECINA PUES SE MUERE POR “LLEGARLE”. PERO SU MAMI SABE QUÉ ES LO MEJOR CUANDO SE TRATA DE INTERESES MATRIMONIALES. PORQUE ÉL ES TAN BUENO, ÉL ESTÁ TAN BIEN, ÉL ES TAN SALUDABLE, EN SU CUERPO Y SU MENTE. ÉL ES UN HOMBRE RESPETADO EN EL PUEBLO, HACIENDO LO MEJOR TAN CONSERVADORAMENTE.
