Talent Is An Asset

Albert is smart, he's a genius

Watch Albert putter, an obvious genius

Someday he will reassess the world

And he'll still have time for lots of girls

When he grows up he'll remember us

When he grows up we are sure that he'll remember us

We made sure that Albert wore his mac

We kept all the strangers off his back

(Go away)

Everything's relative

(Go away Albert's mother say to me)

We are his relatives and he don't need any non- relatives

Talent is an asset

You've got to understand that

Talent is an asset

And little Albert has it

Talent is an asset

And Albert surely has it

One day he'll sever his apron strings

All of the while he'll be scribbling things, genius things

Look at Albert, isn't he a sight

Growing, growing at the speed of light

(Go away)

Everything's relative

(Go away Albert's mother say to me)

We are his relatives and he don't need any non- relatives

Talent is an asset

And little Albert has it

Talent is relative

That's hypothetical

We are his relatives

That's parenthetical

Spare your superlatives

There's the receptacle

There's the receptacle

Leave Albert's study room

Leave Albert's happy room

Leave Albert's neighbourhood

Leave Albert's city, too

Leave Albert's country seat

Leave Albert's coun-rer-y

Leave Albert's continent

Leave Albert's hemisphere

Leave Albert's planet, too

Leave Albert's universe

No one must see him now

Only the medical

No one must downgrade him

Don't be to cynical

Don't be to critical

Cancel the magazines

They're much to political

Don't buy him any jeans

They're much to casual

Talent is relative

We are his relatives

That's parenthetical
