[Verse 1]
The car's always there at nine
Though he's never out on time
Night after night, line after line
He'll be fine, I suppose
The famous Mr. Jones
[Verse 2]
He really should relax
He's due a heart attack
Though there's no heart to attack
Is it an act? No one knows
The naughty Mr. Jones
[Chorus]
In a world full of weird, you're the oddest ever
Heard you brought everyone here so much pleasure, clever
We all know that you know you're a national treasure
Mrs Jones, you made the best boy ever, ever, E-V-E-R
[Verse 3]
He's careful with his weight
Pushes food around the plate
He could never pass as straight
Ask his mates how it goes
The careful Mr. Jones
[Verse 4]
Even his mother thinks he's odd
He hasn't got a proper job
But he says neither did God
And he's the Lord
As it goes, the mighty Mr. Jones
[Chorus]
In a world full of weird, you're the oddest ever
Heard you brought everyone here so much pleasure, clever
We all know that you know you're a national treasure
Mrs Jones, you made the best boy ever, ever, E-V-E-R
In a world full of weird, you're the oddest ever
Heard you brought everyone here so much pleasure, clever
We all know that you know you're a national treasure
Mrs Jones, you made the best boy ever, ever
[Bridge]
The moral of this tale
Is when everything's for sale
Good men seldom prevail, they all fail
As he knows, the gifted Mr. Jones
The car's always there at nine
Though he's never out on time
Night after night, line after line
He'll be fine, I suppose
The famous Mr. Jones
[Verse 2]
He really should relax
He's due a heart attack
Though there's no heart to attack
Is it an act? No one knows
The naughty Mr. Jones
[Chorus]
In a world full of weird, you're the oddest ever
Heard you brought everyone here so much pleasure, clever
We all know that you know you're a national treasure
Mrs Jones, you made the best boy ever, ever, E-V-E-R
[Verse 3]
He's careful with his weight
Pushes food around the plate
He could never pass as straight
Ask his mates how it goes
The careful Mr. Jones
[Verse 4]
Even his mother thinks he's odd
He hasn't got a proper job
But he says neither did God
And he's the Lord
As it goes, the mighty Mr. Jones
[Chorus]
In a world full of weird, you're the oddest ever
Heard you brought everyone here so much pleasure, clever
We all know that you know you're a national treasure
Mrs Jones, you made the best boy ever, ever, E-V-E-R
In a world full of weird, you're the oddest ever
Heard you brought everyone here so much pleasure, clever
We all know that you know you're a national treasure
Mrs Jones, you made the best boy ever, ever
[Bridge]
