lyrics

There’s time in every man’s life
when he takes a wife and settles down to dream.
And he thinks it’s the end of the line:
goodbye to the kind of life he’s been used to leading.

Oh, it’s easy to lie, but there’s no denying
he still longs for yesterday: sits and dreams his life away;
wants to be a bachelor…

Hey, Mrs Housewife can’t you see what’s going on?
Memories take pride of place in your feller’s mind.
Hey, Mrs Housewife, won’t you let your mind roll on,
and never let them say that you’ve been blind?

Did you think that this was the start
of a beautiful heart relationship with him?
That his love would be just like before,
growing more and more,
while you sat around in clover?

Oh, it’s over to you, but what can you do? ‘Cos
he won’t let the secret out; tell you what it’s all about:
he wants to be a bachelor…

Hey, Mrs Housewife can’t you see what’s going on?
Memories take pride of place in your feller’s mind.
Hey, Mrs Housewife, won’t you let your mind roll on,
and never let them say that you’ve been blind?
