Verse 1

Raise your hat to a man who’s living alone
Raise your hat with nowhere to go
His eyes are open but all he sees is himself
For there’s no room in this world for anyone else

Verse 2

When he talks the only voice he hears is his own
When he walks down the street he sees no-one at all
The only time he listens to you in the day
Is if you tell him how clever he is and give him your praise

Verse 3

So, raise your hat to a man who’s looking for praise
Raise your hat to a man who wants you to say
‘You’re the handsomest, cleverest man I’ve even met’
Raise your hat to a man you’d like … to forget!
