The Greatest Thing
Everyone stopped when she walked into the roomIsn't this the greatest thingEveryone own up but nobody could touch herIsn't this the greatest thingPunch the clock keep boxing cleverYou'll be young enough for everIsn't this the greatest thingIsn't this the greatest thingI heard some new confectionSaid we can't afford to feel affectionAnd it's the latest thingIn and out of matrimonyNever once removed the SonyCause it's a status thingSo girls like that above describedAre not to be so easily bribedWith a white frock and a ringPunch the clock and in time you'll get pulled apartIf you're married on paper and not in your heartBut I won't be told that life with the one you love is sordidJust because some authority says you can't afford itSince nights were long and days were oldenWoman to man has been beholdenBut since then times have been changingShe sends back his tribute of a roseAnd says this ring is better suited for the noseLetras de cancionesHe's always fingeringI punch the clock and it's okI know a girl who takes my breath awayAnd it's the greatestAnd it's the greatest thing From Letras Mania
