Doesn’t it please your heart to know
He used to go where the wild things grow
And he’s younger than the youngest Rolling Stone
Doesn’t it please your heart to see
He gotta post in the Ministry
He’s a groove as far as politicians go
And he was standing at a party in 1968
Wearing beads and waving a drumstick
While nurturing dreams of running the stage
And he was a man for our time
There’s one in every crowd
If it was allowed
You’d drown them young
And he was a man for our time
He never spared a dime for you or your kind
But he had made it
Doesn’t it thrill you to observe
He makes the change as the fashions swerve
[?] smooth machine
Oh, be still my fluttering heart
There on the stage in the leading part
Is a man who comes to life for margarine
And now he’s shaking hands at charity concerts
With pop stars [?]
While the rest of us
Are throwing are money
Driving the buses
And digging the trench
And he was a man for our time
There’s one in every crowd
If it was allowed
You’d drown them young
And he was a man for the time
He never spared a dime for you or your kind
But he had made it
