The Greatest Thing

[Verse 1]

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

(Isn't this the greatest thing)

You'll be young enough forever

(Isn't this the greatest thing)

[Chorus]

Isn't this the greatest

Isn't this the greatest thing

Isn't this the greatest thing

The greatest thing

[Verse 2]

I heard some new confection

Said we can't afford to feel affection

('Cause it's the latest thing)

In and out of matrimony

Never once removed the Sony

('Cause 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

[Chorus]

And it's the greatest thing

And it's the greatest thing

And it's the greatest thing

And it's the greatest thing

Oh it’s the greatest

Isn't this the greatest thing

Isn't this the greatest thing

The greatest thing

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

And it's the greatest

Isn't this the greatest thing

Isn't this the greatest thing

The greatest thing

The greatest thing

Isn't this the greatest

Isn't this the greatest thing

Isn't this the greatest thing

The greatest thing

The greatest thing

The greatest thing
