They say gardening is the new sex And brown was the new black Which is now the old grey, ha-ha And stripes are, of course, the new checks While spots on culottes are just so yesterday When fashion announces with fleeting finality That excessing one's dress is the coolest frugality And sin is so in, it's the latest morality Then take it from me, it's the dernier cri But fake is the new reality Let's hear it for fake Let's hear it for sweet duplicity I've had it with authenticity Let's hear it for fake Let's hear it for sham Two fingers to dumpy frumpery Give me that Ivana Trump-ery Sham is the new glam Don't want to grow old, go cold So from now on, it's no holds barred I'm plucked and sucked and tightly tucked I reconstruct and then discard Oh please, give me a break Be honest, it's hardly perjury What's wrong with a, a little surgery Let's hear it for fake I'm familiar with every technique Like a snake, I am shedding superfluous skin There's a chunk of my thigh in my cheek If I saw my old nose, I'd say, "How have you been?" There's only so much one can do with a tweezer Or going to bed with one's head in the freezer At the sign of a line, I just whip out my Visa Where each wrinkle is etched, I get myself stretched Or I'll soon look like Mother Teresa Let's hear it for fake Old age is now quite evadable Who needs to be biodegradable Let's hear it for fake Let's hear it for fraud Though some may say it's a vast caprice I say I'm a final masterpiece Who's being restored Though it may pain ya, drain ya It's worth it to regain your face I'm clipped and gripped and slightly snipped And when I'm stripped, it stays in place Oh, let's hear it for fake Now thanks to my doc's ability Nothing's an impossibility Correcting nature's mistake So let's hear it for giving a cheer Before taking my foot off the brake Let's hear it for F-A-K-E Oh Doctor, I'm all yours Fake
