The Greatest Thing |
| EVERYONE STOPPED WHEN SHE WALKED INTO THE ROOM |
| Isn’t this the greatest thing |
| Everyone own up but nobody could touch her |
| Isn’t this the greatest thing |
| PUNCH THE CLOCK keep boxing clever |
| You’ll be young enough for ever |
| Isn’t this the greatest thing |
| Isn’t this THE GREATEST THING |
| I heard some new confection |
| Said we can’t afford to feel affection |
| And it’s the lastest thing |
| In and out of matrimony |
| Never once removed the Sony |
| 'Cos it’s a status thing |
| So girls like that above described |
| Are not to be so easily bribed |
| With a white frock and a ring |
| PUNCH THE CLOCK and in time you’ll get pulled apart |
| IF YOU’RE MARRIED ON PAPER AND NOT IN YOUR HEART |
| But I won’t be told that life with the one you love is sordid |
| Just because some authority says you can’t afford it |
| Since nights were long and days were olden |
| Woman to man has been beholden |
| But since then times have been changing |
| She sends back HIS TRIBUTE OF A ROSE |
| And says this ring is better suited for the nose |
| He’s always fingering |
| I PUNCH THE CLOCK and it’s OK |
| I KNOW A GIRL WHO TAKES MY BREATH AWAY |
| And it’s the greatest |
| And it’s the greatest thing |
