MRS JOHNSTONE : The house we got was lovely The neighbours are a treat.

They sometimes fight on Saturday nightBut never in the weekSince I pay me bills on timeThe milkman insists I call him JoeHe brings me bread and eggsSays I've got legsLike Marilyn Monroe

Sometimes he takes takes me dancin'Even takes me dancin'I know our Sammy burnt the school downWell it's very easily doneIf the teacher lets the silly getsPlay with magnesiumThank God he only got probationThe judge was old and slowThough it was kind of himSaid I reminded him of Marilyn Monroe

JUDGE :And could I take you dancing?I'd love to take you dancing young lady

MRS JOHNSTONE :Our Mickey's just turned fourteenY'know he's at that ageWhen you mention girls or courtingHe flies into a rageHe's got a thing for taking blackheads outAnd he thinks that I don't knowThat he dreams all night of girlsWho look like Marilyn MonroeHe even started dancing, secret dancingAs for the rest, they've flown the nestGot married or moved awayOur Donna Marie's already got threeShe'a bit like me that wayAnd that other child of mineI haven't seen for years

Although each day I pray he'll be OKUnlike poor Marilyn Monroe.
