Swanking

Handin' round the cigars

and fancy liqueurs,

wearing a black Stetson hat

and shiny boots with spurs.

Got cream in my coffee,

pants threaded with gold.

Egyptian brushed cotton.

This shit never gets old.

I was once just like you.

Hell, who am I kidding?

I was born on a yacht

and brought up in Ben Rhydding.

You could be quite like me,

if you put in some work -

a perma-tanned man-child

surrounded by jerks.
