Omdat hij steeds vroeg uit zijn bed komt
En om acht uur buiten staat,
Altijd in dezelfde trein zit,
Om half zes naar huis toe gaat.
Omdat zijn wereld is gebouwd op stiptheid
Gaat het nooit verkeerd.
En hij is o zo braaf
En hij is o zo fijn
En hij is o zo degelijk
En daar mag hij trots op zijn.
Hij wordt zeer gerespecteerd
Hier in de stad
En hij doet braaf
Wat pa hem heeft geleerd.
En zijn moeder gaat vergaderen
Omdat ze een aandeel heeft geclaimd.
Ze drinkt thee met haar accountants
Terwijl zijn pa het meisje neemt.
En behalve naar geld kijkt ze ook
Naar iedere knappe jonge knaap.
En hij is o zo braaf...
En hij houdt zo van zijn tuintje
En hij vindt zijn sigaren het best.
En hij is beter dan de rest
En zijn zweetlucht ruikt het best.
En hij hoopt het geld te krijgen
Van zijn vader als die sterft.
En hij is o zo braaf...
Hij gaat altijd naar de beurs
Want hij heeft certificaten.
Hij aanbidt het meisje hiernaast
Want hij durft niet met haar te praten.
Maar zijn moeder weet het beste
Wat het huwelijk met zich brengt.
En hij is o zo braaf...
