When the Cows Come Home

[Intro - Spoken]

Good morning, wake up!

[Verse 1]

Wake up with purpose and polite efficiency

Stuff vitamin pills down your health guarantee

A kiss and cuddle with the lucky girl

You get fed and watered, makes your hair curl

[Chorus]

And when the day draws in

You put on a record

Put on something gentle

And wait for the cows to come home

[Verse 2]

"Wake up," a little voice says to you eagerly

You mustn't let yourself sink financially

Don't listen to the accusation that you're tight

You could be the first man on your street to get it right

[Chorus]

And when the day draws in

You go into waltz time

Where once it was good time

And wait for the cows to come home, all your life

[Bridge]

La-da-de-da, la-da-da-de-da

La-da-de-da-da-da, la-da-da-de-da

La-da-de-da-da-da-de-da, la-da-de-da

La-da-de-da-da-da, la-da-de-da (La, la, la)

[Verse 3]

Wake up in purpose and polite efficiency

So you get fed and watered with good company

[Chorus]

And when the day draws in

You go into waltz time

Where once it was good time

And wait for the cows to come home, all your life
