Lyrics Donnie Iris – The Reasonable Prudent Person

Text:

I’m a reasonable prudent person
Drive a reasonable prudent car
Got my reasonable prudent lady
On my reasonable prudent arm

With two reasonable prudent children
And a dog out in the barn
Thinking «Oh, what a good boy am I»

Went to a reasonable prudent college
In a reasonable prudent town
Where the reasonable prudent daydream
Is find a girl and settle down
Start a reasonable prudent business
Have some kids and move uptown
Singing «Oh, what a good boy am I»

Doctor patient
Penitent priest
Find out what it means to me
I never did a thing to
In all my life

I’m a reasonable prudent person
Can’t say I had a ball
But on my way to the top
Never did I fall

What do you do when you get
To the top of the corporate ladder
And realize over all
That all this time you were
Climbing up so faithfully
But the ladder was against
The wrong wall

Oh, what a good boy am I
Oh, what a good boy am I
Oh, what a good boy am I
Oh, what a good boy am I
