[Pre-Chorus]
In the event of something happening to me
There is something I would like you all to see
It's just a photograph of someone that I knew

[Chorus]
Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones

I keep straining my ears to hear a sound
Maybe someone is digging underground
Or have they given up and all gone home to bed
Thinking those who once existed must be dead

[Chorus]
Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones

[Pre-Chorus]
In the event of something happening to me
There is something I would like you all to see
It's just a photograph of someone that I knew

[Chorus]
Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it's like on the outside?
Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones

Bee Gees

The three Gibb brothers were very close as children and spent most of their time together. Barry was born in 1946, and his twin brothers Maurice and Robin were born in 1949. Together, they went on to become one of the most popular bands of the 1970s.

The Bee Gees have sold more than 220 million records worldwide, and functioned as a group almost continuously from 1958 to 2003, when Maurice Gibb suddenly died during a coma.
