Lyrics:

Aim for the body, rare you'll see it on TV
The worst thing in 1954 was the bikini
See the girl on the TV, dressed in a bikini
She doesn't think so, but she's dressed for the H-bomb
(For the H-bomb!)

I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for
I knew I'd get what I asked for

Aim for the country fair, you read it in the paper
The worst thing happens any week, a scandal on the front page
See the happy pair smiling close, like they are monkeys
They wouldn't think so, but they're holding themselves down
(Hold themselves down!)

I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for
I knew I'd get what I asked for


I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for
I knew I'd get what I asked for

Aim for politician fair, who'll treat your vote-hope well
The last thing they'll ever do, act in your interest
Look at the world through your Polaroid glasses
Things'll look a whole lot better for the working classes
(Working classes!)

I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for
I knew I'd get what I asked for


I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for
I knew I'd get what I asked for
