Specialization

If you bruise the people in the news,
The people that the magazines refer to
Y'ou'll find that tey are naturally soigné,
The special ones that all of us defer to
They've each a trait that seems to state "first raters"
Wichseparates them from the small pertatters

Maria Callas
Is booking Dallas
The carpet's rolled out and they're sold out clear to the skies
Specialization, specialization
They'll love your high notes if..
If you specialize

When Elvis rotates
Each creep notates
It may look funny, but the money's what it supplies
Specialization, specialization
You'll meet the Colonel if...
If you specialize

Salome did it with..
Veils
Abe Lincoln did it with..
Brains
Toledo did it with
Scales
The Chinese built that Wall
Specialized star

Marc Clement gives the gals the tremors
This Casanova sure has the roverest eyes
Specialization, specialization
You'll rule the barnyard if..
If you specialize

The Farrows did it with..
Springs
And Darwin did it with..
Links
Some robbers did it with..
Brinks
Carnegie used a Hall
Specialized star

Van Cliberen caused us a high burn
While we were blushin'
Some Russian gape in the prize
Specialization, specialization

They'll give you medals..
If..
They'll love your high notes..
If..
You'll meet the Colonel..
If..
You'll rule the barnyard..
If..
If you specialize
I specialize
