In Vanity Fair, everything is for sale .. the citizens even if more fun than in Destruction, are equally mischievous and treacherous .. sounds like today doesn't it !

VANITY FAIR
The next time you knock off an ash-tray
From your room at the Holiday Inn,
Whatever you do, to your bad side be true,
Never let decency win,
So please not to fuss,
Bring the ash-tray to us
And you'll find we're not dense at all,
Able to fence it all,
Prices quite sensible, Vanity Fair.
The next time you fancy excitement
Of an unusual physical kind,
Whatever you do, let your weak side come through,
Banish all good from your mind.
There's no more to discuss,
Bring your body to us
For you'll find us most dutiful,
Sexually mutable,
Prices quite suitable, Vanity Pair.
Vanity Fair, wish you were here, we're sure you would stay,
Vanity Fair, we're sincere and we mean what we say.
We've got a slicker, quicker easy way
To get your faded image up to date,
Try it now, it's on a special offer, so be sure not to wait,
Vanity Fair, wish you were here to brighten our day,
Vanity Fair, if you got the money we'll take it away,
We trade in every kind of vanity
Tricky double dealing and profanity,
Specialising in inanity in Vanity Fair.
So the next time you think of insurance,
And you seek a reliable firm,
As brokers we're true to whatever we do,
We know what is meant by "good term".
There's no more to discuss, bring your business to us
Because nothing is trustable,
Our water's combustible,
Premiums adjustable, Vanity Fair.
Most things are adjustable here, here, here
In Vanity Fair, wish you were here, in Vanity Fair.
We'll fleece you bare, in Vanity Fair
Wish you were here, in Vanity Fair.
