Blood Brothers Take A Letter Miss Jones Lyrics

[Mr Lyons]
Take a letter Miss Jones
Quote "I regret to inform you
That owing to circumstances
Quite beyong our control
It's a premature retirement
For those surplus to requirement
I'm afraid it's another sign of the times"
Miss Jones

[Mr Lyons & Miss Jones]
An unfortunate sign of the times

[Mr Lyons]
Take a letter, Miss Jones
Due to the world situation
The shrinking pound, the global slump

[Miss Jones]
And the price of oil

[My Lyons]
I'm afraid we must fire you
We no longer require you
It's just another sign of the time

[Mr Lyons & Miss Jones]
A most miserable sign of the times

[Mr Lyons]
Take a letter Miss Jones
My dear Miss Jones, we'd like to thank you
Many years of splendid service
Excetara blah blah blah
You've been a perfect poppet
Yes that's right Miss Jones, you've got it
It's just another sign of the times
Miss Jones, it's just another sign of the times

[Doleites]
Dry your eyes, Miss Jones
It's not as bad as it seems, you
Get used to being idle In a year or two
Unemployment's such a pleasure
These days, we call it leisure
It's just another sign of the times
Miss Jones, it's just another sign of the times

[Narrator]
There's a young man on the street, Miss Jones
He's walking round in circles
He's old before his time
But still too young to know
Don't look at him, don't cry though
This living on the Giro
Is only a sign of the times
Miss Jones, it's just another sign of the times
Miss Jones, It's just another sign of the times
Miss Jones, It's just another sign of the times
Miss Jones, It's just another sign of the times
Miss Jones, It's just another sign of the times
