Perspective
Call me fool
That's alright with me
Here's my rule
Never disagree
Where's my pride?
Swallowed long ago
Deep inside
Where it doesn't show
Bowing, scraping, nodding, beaming
Always humble
Not an ounce of self respect
Yes sir, yes sir, you're so right sir
Black is white sir
'Scuse me while I genuflect
How do I remain so calm and cheerful?
How do I retain my piece of mind?
Let me just explain my rationale
It's all in your perspective
Listen! Listen!
To an old Hungarian's philosophy
I am only one of
Several in a rather small parfumerie
Which is only one of several in this city
Which is one of many cities in this country which
Is only one
Of many countries
Which are on this continent
Which is only one of seven on this not so special planet
Which is one of several in our solar system
Which is only one of many solar systems
In this vast, and inconievable affair, that is the universe
Sooooooo
In this infinite, incomprehensible scheme
If a dot called Maraczek should scream
At a speck called Sipos
What on Earth does it matter?
Sooooo
Call me fool
That's alright with me
Here's my rule
Never disagree
Where's my pride?
Swallowed long ago
Deep inside
Where it doesn't show
Just maintain a true perspective
And it's easy to avoid a clash of wills
Just maintain a true perspective
And make sure you're well supplied with stomach pills
Let me put it bluntly
I'm a coward
With a wife and children to support
Actually my creed is sort and simple
Five essential words George
Do not
Lose
Your job!
That's alright with me
Here's my rule
Never disagree
Where's my pride?
Swallowed long ago
Deep inside
Where it doesn't show
Bowing, scraping, nodding, beaming
Always humble
Not an ounce of self respect
Yes sir, yes sir, you're so right sir
Black is white sir
'Scuse me while I genuflect
How do I remain so calm and cheerful?
How do I retain my piece of mind?
Let me just explain my rationale

Listen! Listen!
