Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I wanna tell you 'bout my mountain home

Where all the ladies' names are Joan

Where husband works back late at night

Hopes are up, but trousers down with the hostess on a business flight

[Verse 2]

Taxi in a Mercedes drive

I hope that driver's coming out alive

The garden, it is dorsetted

That lady, she's so corseted

She's got fifteen ways to lead that boy astray

This is one and only

But that lovely, she's so lonely

She pumps him full of breakfast

Then she sends him on his way

[PreChorus]

What a sing-song dance

What a performance

What a cheap tent show

Oh, no-no-no-no-no

[Chorus]

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up, light up, light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up, light up, light up

[Verse 3]

Silently, she opens the drawer

Mother's little helper is coming out for more

Strategically positioned before the midday show

The back is arched, those lips are parched, repeated blow by blow

And later at the party, yeah, all the MP's rave

'Bout the hummers she's been giving, and the money that they save

To her it is skin lotion, him promotion too

That flat in Surfers Paradise with the ocean view

[PreChorus]

What a sing-song dance

What a performance

What a cheap tent show

Oh, no-no-no-no-no

[Chorus]

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up, light up, light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up, light up, light up

[Chorus]

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Boys light up

[Chorus]

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

[Chorus]

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up, light up, light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up, light up, light up

[Chorus]

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up, light up, light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up, light up, light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up
