TAKE A LETTER MISS JONES

Take a letter Ms Jones
Quote: I regret to inform you
That owing to circumstances quite beyond our control
It's a premature retirement
For those surplus to requirement
I'm afraid it's a sign of the times, Miss Jones
An unfortunate sign of the times

Take a letter Ms Jones
Due to the world situation
The shrinking pound, the global slump
And the price of oil
I'm afraid we must fire you
We no longer require you
It's just another sign of the times, Ms Jones
A most miserable sign of the times

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

Quite right Ms Jones
It's not as bad as it seemsY
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, Ms Jones
It's just another sign of the times

There's a young man on the street Ms Jones
He's walking round in circles
He's old before his time but still too young to know
Don't ya look at him, don't ya cry though
This living on the gyro
Is only sign of the times, Ms Jones
It's just another sign of the times, Ms Jones
It's just another sign of the times, Ms Jones
It's just another sign of the times, Ms Jones
It's just another sign of the times
