Take A Letter Miss Jones lyrics

MR LYONS
TAKE A LETTER, MISS JONES QUOTE
I REGRET TO INFORM YOU,
THAT OWING TO CIRCUMSTANCES
OUITE BEYOND OUR CONTROL
IT S A PREMATURE RETIREMENT
FOR THOSE SURPLUS TO REQUIREMENT
I M AFRAID IT S A SIGN OF THE TIMES, MISS JONES,

MR LYONS/MISS JONES
AN UNFORTUNATE SIGN OF THE TIMES

MR LYONS
TAKE A LETTER, MISS JONES,
DUE TO THE WORLD SITUATION
THE SHRINKING POUND, THE GLOBAL SLUMP

MISS JONES
AND THE PRICE OF OIL

MR LYONS
I M AFRAID WE MUST FIRE YOU
WE NO LONGER REQUIRE YOU
IT S JUST ANOTHER
SIGN OF THE TIMES, MISS JONES,

MR LYONS/MISS JONES
A MOST MISERABLE SIGN OF THE TIMES

MR LYONS
TAKE A LETTER MISS JONES:
MY DEAR MISS JONES, WE D LIKE TO THANK YOU
MANY YEARS OF SPLENDID SERVICE
ETCETERA BLAH BLAH BLAH
YOU VE BEEN A PERFECT POPPET
YES THAT S RIGHT MISS JONES, YOU VE GOT IT
IT S JUST ANOTHER SIGN OF THE TIMES,
MISS JONES, IT S
JUST ANOTHER SIGN OF THE

DOLEITES
DRY YOUR EYES, MISS JONES
IT S NOT AS BAD AS IT SEEMS YOU
GET USED TO BEING IDLE
IN A YEAR OR TWO
UNEMPLOYMENT S SUCH A PLEASURE
THESE DAYS, WE CALL IT LEISURE
IT S JUST ANOTHER SIGN OF THE TIMES,
MISS JONES, IT S
JUST ANOTHER SIGN OF THE TIMES

NARRATOR
THERE S A YOUNG MAN ON THE STREET, MISS JONES
HE S WALKIN ROUND IN CIRCLES,
HE S OLD BEFORE HIS TIME
BUT STILL TOO YOUNG TO KNOW
DON T LOOK AT HIM, DON T CRY THOUGH
THIS LIVING ON THE GIRO
IS ONLY A SIGN OF THE TIMES,
MISS JONES, IT S
JUST ANOTHER SIGN OF THE

DOLEITES
MISS JONES,
IT S JUST ANOTHER SIGN OF THE TIMES...
