Barbara Dickson - Miss Jones Sign Of The Times Lyrics

Take a letter Miss Jones (quote)
I regret to inform you,
That owing to circumstances
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 Miss 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 Miss Jones,
A most miserable sign of the times.

Take a letter Miss Jones
Of course we'll let the work force know, when inflation's been defeated
And recession is no more,
For the moment we suggest
You don't become too depressed.
It's only a sign of the times Miss Jones,
A peculiar sign of the times.

Take a letter Miss Jones,
Miss Jones we'd like to thank you
Many years of splendid service, etcetara, 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.

Dry your eyes Miss Jones,
It's not as bad as it seems
You get used to bein' 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.

There's a young man on the street Miss Jones,
He's walkin' round in circles,
Old before his time,
But still too young to know.
Don't look at him an' cry though,
This livin' on the Giro
It's 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.
