P[E]aid for the body rare, you see it on TV (???)

W[E]orst thing in 1954 was the Bikini

S[E]ee the girl on the TV dressed in a bikini

S[E]he doesn't think so much, she's dressed for the h-bomb [FOR the h-bomb]

I[A] found that es[B]sence rare, it's what I loo[E]k for

I[C] knew I'd ge[B]t what I asked for       [F#]

Paid for the country fair you read it in the papers (???)

Worst thing happens any week scattered on the front page

See the happy pair smiling there (???) like they're monkeys

They [something something something] they're holding themselves down
                                                         [HOLD
themselves down]

Paid for politicians rare they act their photos well (????)

Last thing they'll ever do: Act in your interest

Look through the world with your polaroid glasses

Things all look a whole lot better for the working classes [WORKing
classes]
