I had a question though it escapes me
A bird swooped down to take it shining from my mouth
I was sitting down
In a restaurant of all places
Top drawer silver service Mavis stood the bill
I can picture the waiter’s face still
Ah that’s it I remember what I wanted to ask
How come you think I’ve got the money
Is it ‘cos I haven’t got the looks
In our house Mavis wears the trousers
And I wear my heart proud for Mavis
Well I’ve got a suggestion
While all you men are standing waiting open mouthed
So listen now
Mavis is the best thing and she would never question how you run your lives
I suggest that you take the same line
Of course it’s just a tip
She’s not bothered either way
How come you find it all so funny
Is the money not good enough
In our house Mavis wears the trousers
And I wear my heart proud for Mavis
Ooh yeah for Mavis
And I wouldn’t have it any other way
Oh come on do you really have to ask
How come you think I’ve got the money
Is it ‘cos I haven’t got the looks
In our house Mavis wears the trousers
And I wear my heart proud for Mavis
And I wear my heart proud for Mavis
And I wear my heart proud for Mavis
