Lyrics: I wanna tell you about my mountain home Where all the ladies names are Joan Where husbands works back late at night He's hopes are up for his trousers down With hostess on a business flight Taxi in a Mercedes drive I hope that driver's coming out alive The garden is a dorsetted That lady - she's so corseted She's got 15 ways to lead that boy astray He thinks he's one and only But that lovely she's so lonely She pumps him full of breakfast and she sends him on his way What a sing song dance What a performance What a cheap tent show Oh no no
