Lyrics
Convention Hall's overflowing with people and champagne
The mayor and the councilman are toasting his good name
They unveil his portrait: it's a party atmosphere
She's watching as they celebrate the "Man of the Year"!
chorus
He's a masterpiece, a masterpiece of a man
If they only knew what she knows they'd understand
They're all part of a masterplan.
He built a home for abandoned children, she heard the speaker say
A shelter for battered women so they could get away.
And opened a place for the homeless to live in dignity.
It's all his big business now they can't see!
chorus
He has a secret life these folks don't even know
He abandoned her and the kids back in Tupelo.
And like these good people she thought he was sincere.
But things are gonna change tonight when they all hear!
chorus
He's a masterpiece, a masterpiece....of a man.
