[Verse 1]
The yellow walls are lined with portraits
And I've got my new red fetching leather jacket
All these poses, such beautiful poses
Make any boy feel like pickin' up roses

[Verse 2]
There's never been such grave a matter
Than comparing our new brand name black sunglasses
All these poses, such beautiful poses
Make any boy feel as pretty as princes

[Pre-Chorus]
The green autumnal park conductin'
All the city streets a wondrous chorus singin'
All these poses, how can you blame me?
When life is a game and true love is a trophy

[Chorus]
But you said
Watch my head about it
You said I should watch my head
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no kiddin'

[Verse 3]
Reclined amongst these packs of reasons
For to smoke the day away into the evening
All these poses of classical torture
Ruined my mind like a snake in the orchard
[Verse 4]
I did go from wanting to be someone
Now I'm drunk and wearing flip-flops on Fifth Avenue
When you've fallen from classical virtue
There won't be a soul for to wake up and hold you

[Pre-Chorus]
The green autumnal park conductin'
All the city streets a wondrous chorus
Singin' all these poses no longer boyish
It made me a man, oh, but who cares what that is?

[Chorus]
And you said watch my head about it
You said I should watch my head
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh
You said watch my head about it
You said I should watch my head
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no kidding
