Big Sister's Clothes |
| Sheep to the slaughter oh I thought this must be love |
| All your sons and daughters in a strangle hold with a kid glove |
| She’s got eyes like saucers oh you think she’s a dish |
| She is the blue chip that belongs to the big fish |
| Chorus: |
| But it’s easier to say «I love you,» |
| Than «Yours sincerly» I suppose |
| All little sisters like to try on big sister’s clothes |
| Big sister’s clothes |
| The sport of kings, the old queen’s heart |
| The prince in darkness stole some tart |
| And it’s in the papers, it’s in the charts |
| It’s in the stop press before it all starts. |
| With a hammer on the slap and tickle under grisly garments |
| With all the style and finesse of the purchase of armaments |
| Compassion went out of fashion |
| That’s all your concern meant |
| Sweat it out for thirty seconds on home improvements |
| Chorus |
