Repetition (ChangesNowBowie Version)

[Verse 1]

Well, Johnny is a man

And he's bigger than you

But his overheads are high

And he looks straight through you w

When you ask him how the kids are

[Verse 2]

He'll get home around seven

'Cause the Chevy’s real old

And he could have had a Cadillac

If the school had taught him right

[Refrain]

And he could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse

He could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse

[Verse 3]

And the food is on the table

But the food is cold

(Don't hit her)

Can't you even cook?

What's the good of me working when you can't damn cook?

[Verse 4]

Well, Johnny is a man and he's bigger than her

I guess the bruises won't show

If she wears long sleeves

But the space in her eyes shows through

[Refrain]

And he could have married Anne with the blue silk blouse

Could've married Anne with the blue silk blouse

Could've married Anne with the blue silk blouse

Could've married Anne with the blue silk blouse

[Outro]

It shows through

It shows through

It shows through

Could've married Anne with the blue silk blouse

Could've married Anne with the blue silk blouse

Could've married Anne with the blue silk blouse

That shows through
