Cowboys playing, young men slaying,
Old men praying, the world will change.
Schoolgirls dating, daughters mating,
Mothers waiting to rearrange.
Trendy workers, factory shirkers,
Social nurture, won't let you down.
Chairmen bluster, boardroom cluster,
Feather duster, you're vintage clown.
Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor,
Rich or poor man's wife.
Some they wish to change their dish,
But it's a way of life.
Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor,
Rich or poor man's wife.
Some they wish to change their dish,
But it's a way of life.
So be thankful for what you're given
And be good to your wife in bed
You look at her, the art of living
And don't forget you're a long time dead
When you're born it's a great big welcome
When you go it's a sad goodbye.
Oh, with the bit in between your future
It's up to you if you laugh or cry.
Cowboys playing, young men slaying,
Old men praying, the world will change.
Schoolgirls dating, daughters mating,
Mothers waiting, to rearrange.
It's just a way of life,
Just a way of life.
