I opened up an agency somewhere down the line
And landed in Sri Lanka none the worse for wear
I'd leave the change and tuck the bills inside my cummerbund
And counseled all my clients to plead insanity
And auctioned off every last Naugahyde divan
I like to have a good time and I don't care who gets hurt
And whisked away their workman's comp and pauperized the lot
And fourteen hours later I was down in Adelaide
I'm proud to be a glutton and I don't have time for sloth
I got a part-time job at my father's carpet store
I like to have a good time and I don't care who gets hurt
I threw away the fortune I made transplanting hair
To hire Aboriginals to work the opal mines
Which led me to a cash box, labeled 'Children's Fund'
I keep a busy schedule trying to fit them in
Then worked in hair replacement, swindling the bald
I'm Mr. Bad Example, take a look at me
I'm greedy and I'm angry and I don't care who I cross
Whereupon I stole her passport and her wig
Where very few are chosen and fewer still are called
Who took me up to her room to perform the flag salute
Laying tackless stripping and housewives by the score
I'm very well acquainted with the seven deadly sins
I'll live to be a hundred and go down in infamy
Then on to Monte Carlo to play chemin de fer
I'm Mr. Bad Example, intruder in the dirt
I'm Mr. Bad Example, intruder in the dirt
But I attached their wages and took a whopping cut
I loaded up their furniture and took it to Spokane
I bought a first class ticket on Malaysian Air
I'm Mr. Bad Example, take a look at me
Looking through the want ads sipping Fosters in the shade
I'm thinking of retiring from all my dirty deals
Of course, I went to law school and took a law degree
I put my last few francs down on a prostitute
I'll live to be a hundred and go down in infamy
And headed for the airport and the midnight flight, you dig?
