Take a Letter Miss Jones |
MR LYONS |
TAKE A LETTER, MISS JONES QUOTE |
I REGRET TO INFORM YOU, |
THAT OWING TO CIRCUMSTANCES |
OUITE BEYOND OUR CONTROL |
IT’S A PREMATURE RETIREMENT |
FOR THOSE SURPLUS TO REQUIREMENT |
I’M AFRAID IT’S A SIGN OF THE TIMES, MISS JONES, |
MR LYONS/MISS JONES |
AN UNFORTUNATE SIGN OF THE TIMES |
MR LYONS |
TAKE A LETTER, MISS JONES, |
DUE TO THE WORLD SITUATION |
THE SHRINKING POUND, THE GLOBAL SLUMP |
MISS JONES |
AND THE PRICE OF OIL |
MR LYONS |
I’M AFRAID WE MUST FIRE YOU |
WE NO LONGER REQUIRE YOU |
IT’S JUST ANOTHER |
SIGN OF THE TIMES, MISS JONES, |
MR LYONS/MISS JONES |
A MOST MISERABLE SIGN OF THE TIMES |
MR LYONS |
TAKE A LETTER MISS JONES: |
MY DEAR MISS JONES, WE’D LIKE TO THANK YOU |
MANY YEARS OF SPLENDID SERVICE |
ETCETERA BLAH BLAH BLAH |
YOU’VE BEEN A PERFECT POPPET |
YES THAT’S RIGHT MISS JONES, YOU’VE GOT IT |
IT’S JUST ANOTHER SIGN OF THE TIMES, |
MISS JONES, IT’S |
JUST ANOTHER SIGN OF THE |
DOLEITES |
DRY YOUR EYES, MISS JONES |
IT’S NOT AS BAD AS IT SEEMS YOU |
GET USED TO BEING IDLE |
IN A YEAR OR TWO |
UNEMPLOYMENT’S SUCH A PLEASURE |
THESE DAYS, WE CALL IT LEISURE |
IT’S JUST ANOTHER SIGN OF THE TIMES, |
MISS JONES, IT’S |
JUST ANOTHER SIGN OF THE TIMES |
NARRATOR |
THERE’S A YOUNG MAN ON THE STREET, MISS JONES |
HE’S WALKIN’ROUND IN CIRCLES, |
HE’S OLD BEFORE HIS TIME |
BUT STILL TOO YOUNG TO KNOW |
DON’T LOOK AT HIM, DON’T CRY THOUGH |
THIS LIVING ON THE GIRO |
IS ONLY A SIGN OF THE TIMES, |
MISS JONES, IT’S |
JUST ANOTHER SIGN OF THE |
DOLEITES |
MISS JONES, |
IT’S JUST ANOTHER SIGN OF THE TIMES… |
