Music and lyrics by Hilmi Jaidin https://twitter.com/HilmiJaidin Vocals by Esther MacInnes https://twitter.com/EstherMacinnes LYRICS: You could own a tower on Fifth Avenue. In fact, I do. In fact, I've two. That won’t mean a thing unless you have in you A blood that's true. A blood that's blue. Go ahead and play the game, But I’ve already twigged. Trust me when I say the game is rigged! You can buy a boat to float On your moat, But you can't buy class. You can buy a Range Rover To run them all over, But you can't buy class. They don't care how much you own, And they never even throw you a bone. You can buy a Space Shuttle, It's subtle my ass, But you can't buy class. You can buy a bust to just Collect dust, But you can't buy class. You can buy a gold statue To perfectly match you, But you can't buy class. They can smell the nouveau riche As they pat your cheek and pull on your leash. You can buy your own zealots; And hell, it's a gas But you can’t buy class. You can buy a bill to drill On the Hill, But you can't buy class. You can buy a whole nation With no hesitation, But you can't buy class. And they said this bitch can bite So I'll show them all and prove them all right. You can buy the damn planet To can it, en masse. But you can’t buy class. No, you can’t buy class. Oh, you can’t buy class.

How do you unwind so you can face another page? Every brilliant writer needs a - well, I’ll be brief: A boy, a beau, a Bosie To provide relief. When Tennessee Williams Feels low and unmanly, He calls on Frank Or Hank, or Stanley. Darling, Let me be your Bosie. When Peter Tchaikovsky Thinks something is lacking, It’s nothing - but His nut needs cracking. Darling, Let me be your boy. A Bosie That knows he Comes in handy; God, how grand he Must feel. He showed us A modus Oper- -andi Proper, Dandy And ideal. When Christopher Marlowe Can’t chew what he bit off, Will Will be there To tear Kit’s kit off? Darling, let me be your toy. When your writing gets prosy, Come get comfy and cosy. Let me be your Bosie. Let me be your boy!
