Send the army and the navy
Times are tough for English babies<br>
Beat up strangers who talk funny
Send the army and the navy<br>
Take their greasy foreign money
Beat up strangers who talk funny<br>
Skin shop, red leather, hot line
Take their greasy foreign money<br>
Be prepared for the engaged sign
Skin shop, red leather, hot line<br>
Bridal books, engagement rings
Be prepared for the engaged sign<br>
And other wicked little things

Better get it off your chest

Better get it off your chest<br>

Stylish slacks to suit your pocket

Back supports and picture lockets
Stylish slacks to suit your pocket<br>
Sleepy towns and sleeper trains
Back supports and picture lockets<br>
To the dogs and down the drains
Sleepy towns and sleeper trains<br>
Major roads and ladies smalls
To the dogs and down the drains<br>
Hearts of oak and long trunk calls
Major roads and ladies smalls<br>
Continental interference
Hearts of oak and long trunk calls<br>
At death's door with life insurance
Continental interference<br>
 
At death's door with life insurance<br>

When your money's in the minus
Sunday's best, Sunday's finest<br>
And you suffer from your shyness
When your money's in the minus<br>
You can listen to us whiners
And you suffer from your shyness<br>
 
You can listen to us whiners<br>
Don't look now under the bed
<br>
An arm, a leg and a severed head
Don't look now under the bed<br>
Read about the private lives
An arm, a leg and a severed head<br>
The songs of praise, the readers' wives
Read about the private lives<br>
Listen to the decent people
The songs of praise, the readers' wives<br>
Though you treat them just like sheep
Listen to the decent people<br>
Put them all in boots and khaki
Though you treat them just like sheep<br>
Blame it all upon the darkies
Put them all in boots and khaki<br>
 
Blame it all upon the darkies<br>

lyrics for
Sunday's Best

Times are tough for English babies
Send the army and the navy
Beat up strangers who talk funny
Take their greasy foreign money
Skin shop, red leather, hot line
Be prepared for the engaged sign
Bridal books, engagement rings
And other wicked little things

Chorus:
Standing in your socks and vest
Better get it off your chest
Every day is just like the rest
But Sunday's best

Stylish slacks to suit your pocket
Back supports and picture lockets
Sleepy towns and sleeper trains
To the dogs and down the drains
Major roads and ladies smalls
Hearts of oak and long trunk calls
Continental interference
At death's door with life insurance

Chorus

Sunday's best, Sunday's finest
When your money's in the minus
And you suffer from your shyness
You can listen to us whiners

Don't look now under the bed
An arm, a leg and a severed head
Read about the private lives
The songs of praise, the readers' wives
Listen to the decent people
Though you treat them just like sheep
Put them all in boots and khaki
Blame it all upon the darkies

Chorus

Sunday's best
