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 no no no

CHORUS

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up X2

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up - light up - light up

Silently she opens the drawer

Mothers litte helper is coming out for more

Strategically positioned before the midday show

Her back is arched, those lips are parched

Repeated blow by blow

And later at the party where all the MPs rave

About the hummers she's been giving and the money that they save

To her it is skin lotion

For his promotion too

That flat in Surfers Paradise with the ocean view

What a sing song dance

What a performance

What a cheap tent show

Oh no no no no no

CHORUS
