Mrs. Jones

(album: Wonderful - 1985)

Well...

Hello, Mrs. Jones
Good neighbor Sam
How are you doing?
While you're working nine to five
Do you know what your kids are doing?

Youngest debbies' skipping class
Grades so poor she'll barely pass
Oldest roger he's so dear
A pessimist the end is near

The family ties are breaking down
There's not much to do to save them
Tell yourself you'll spend more time
With the kids they'll say forget it

Youngest debbies' skipping class
Grades so poor she'll barely pass
Oldest roger he's so dear
A pessimist the end is near

Mrs. Jones, good neighbor Sam
Mrs. Jones, good neighbor Sam

Mrs. Jones, good neighbor Sam
Mrs. Jones, good neighbor Sam
Mrs. Jones

Everything you work so hard
You only want the best
You tell yourselves and your friends
They're better than the rest
Don't you know that I feel tone and tons of sorrow
Hey! By the way you got a rake that I can borrow?

Youngest debbies' skipping class
Grades so poor she'll barely pass
Oldest roger he's so dear
A pessimist the end is near

Mrs. Jones, good neighbor Sam
Mrs. Jones, good neighbor Sam
Mrs. Jones, good neighbor Sam
Mrs. Jones, good neighbor Sam
