Colin Zeal knows the value of

C        Dm           C
He's a pedestrian walker, he's a
Dm     C
civil talker
        Dm         C
He's an affable man with a
Dm           C
plausible plan
          Dm             C
Keeps his eye on the news, keeps

Chorus

He's pleased with himself,
he's pleased with himself
He's so pleased with himself,
ah-ha
And then he

Chorus

He's pleased with himself,
he's pleased with himself
He's so pleased with himself,
ah-ha
He's pleased with himself,
he's pleased with himself
He's so pleased with himself,
ah-ha
He's pleased with himself,
he's pleased with himself
He's so pleased with himself,
ah-ha

Well, he's a modern retard,
he's terminal lard
He's an affable man
with a carotene tan
'Cause Colin Zeal's ill,
Colin Zeal's ill, Colin Zeal's ill
He's Colin Zeal and he knows
