When the Cows Come Home

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
And when the day draws in
You put on a record
Put on something gentle
And wait for the cows to come home
«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
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
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)
Wake up in purpose and polite efficiency
So you get fed and watered with good company
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
