Perfect Lady Housewife - The Hollies

Perfect lady housewife her totally detached

Sepulcher is painted white it’s antique suite unscratched

A veritable show case it shines like a new pin

Everything is in its place

And there’s a place for everything, everything

That’s the way it’s gotta be, hey

Count them up and know the score

Foot upon the parquet makes her awfully vexed

Onset of vile anarchy oh Lord, whatever’s next

Messiness is no excuse it’s showing no respect

Random factor introduced

Just goes and spoils the whole effect

That’s the way it’s gotta be, yeah

Count them up and know the score

Efficient official his patience overtaxed

Don’t these people know that rules can never be relaxed

He could be humanized, you would never imagine

Everyone is categorized

And there’s a place for everything

That’s the way it’s gotta be, yeah

Count them up and know the score

Come on the floor

You can read it anyway, yeah

Count them up and know the score

Get down the score

That’s the way it’s gotta be, yeah

Gotta be
