the greatest thing

Lyrics

everyone stopped when she walked into the room, isn't this the greatest thing, everyone own up but nobody could touch her, isn't this the greatest thing, punch the clock keep boxing clever, you'll be young enough for ever, isn't this the greatest thing, isn't this the greatest thing, i heard some new confection, said we can't afford to feel affection, and it's the lastest thing, in and out of matrimony, never once removed the sony, 'cos it's a status thing, so girls like that above described, are not to be so easily bribed, with a white frock and a ring, punch the clock and in time you'll get pulled apart, if you're married on paper and not in your heart, but i won't be told that life with the one you love is sordid, just because some authority says you can't afford it, since nights were long and days were olden, woman to man has been beholden, but since then times have been changing, she sends back his tribute of a rose, and says this ring is better suited for the nose, he's always fingering, i punch the clock and it's ok, i know a girl who takes my breath away, and it's the greatest, and it's the greatest thing
