about

Is this fun or serious. Mmmm. Make up your own minds.

lyrics

THE WIFE

Either side o’ the Sunday Times.
Maybe the Sunday Mail!
All I see’s your balding head
- Your dirty finger nails.
Sometimes your hairy hand comes out
To grab a piece of bread.
The only time it ever moves
Is when it’s needing fed

Excuse me dear would you like a cup of tea?
I’d be nice, one day, if you’d make one for me
Is it me?
Don’t think me terribly rude?
Even just a “No!” - -
Would be - Quite good.

Either side o’ the Sunday Times . . .

Do you really need that TV on?
If I switched it off I know you’d only moan.
It’s sooooo loud - you might not hear the bell.
The toast is burning.
Can’t you smell that smell?

Either side o’ the Sunday Times . . .

Are you going to sit in your dressing gown all day?
Another bloody Sunday wasted away.
Walk the dog! Church! Paint the town (red!)
Can’t we be like Bob and Maggie Brown?

Either side o’ the Sunday Times . . .

Excuse me, dear, but that’s your umpteenth cup.
And your paper might as well be downside up.
Oh, you moved !
What an effing shock!
And it’s high time you changed that frock!

Either side o’ the Sunday Times . . .
