Gilding the Lily?

This is my house,
This is my home,
This is the place where I never feel alone.

Look at my garden,
Look at my dog,
He is a thousand dollar pedigree hawcock.

Here comes my wife,
She still looks young,
She´s the best cook you´ll ever find under the sun.

You know my sons?
They are too smart!
You know, they´re sportive, and they´re gifted for fine arts.

Well, and my friends,
They´re just so cool!
They´re simply different from the other small-town fools.

And look at me!
It´s plain to see.
I´ve paid my dues and smashed my brains to be carefree.

Hey, what you get is what you seek, my Dear,
Yeah, what you get is what you seed!
