《The Greatest Thing》歌词

[00:00:00] The Greatest Thing (Album Version) - Elvis Costello & The Attractions

[00:00:10] Everyone stopped when she walked into the room

[00:00:13] Isn't this the greatest thing

[00:00:15] Everyone own up but nobody could touch her

[00:00:18] Isn't this the greatest thing

[00:00:19] Punch the clock keep boxing clever

[00:00:23] (Isn't this the greatest thing)

[00:00:24] You'll be young enough forever

[00:00:27] (Isn't this the greatest thing )

[00:00:29] Isn't this the greatest

[00:00:32] Isn't this the greatest thing

[00:00:34] Isn't this the greatest thing

[00:00:36] The greatest thing

[00:00:39] I heard some new confection

[00:00:40] Said we can't afford to feel affection

[00:00:42] (And it's the lastest thing)

[00:00:43] In and out of matrimony

[00:00:44] Never once removed the Sony

[00:00:46] ('Cos it's a status thing)

[00:00:48] So girls like that above described

[00:00:49] Are not to be so easily bribed

[00:00:51] (With a white frock and a ring)

[00:00:53] Punch the clock and in time you'll get pulled apart

[00:00:55] If you're married on paper and not in your heart

[00:00:58] But I won't be told that life with the one you love is sordid

[00:01:03] Just because some authority says you can't afford it

[00:01:10] It is the greatest thing

[00:01:15] It is the greatest thing

[00:01:19] It is the greatest thing

[00:01:24] It is the greatest thing

[00:01:27] Oh it's the greatest

[00:01:29] Isn't this the greatest thing

[00:01:32] Isn't this the greatest thing

[00:01:33] The greatest thing

[00:01:36] Since nights were long and days were olden

[00:01:37] Woman to man has been beholden

[00:01:39] (But since then times have been changing)

[00:01:40] She sends back his tribute of a rose

[00:01:42] And says this ring is better suited for the nose

[00:01:44] (He's always fingering)

[00:01:45] I punch the clock and it's okay

[00:01:50] I know a girl who takes my breath away

[00:01:55] And it's the greatest

[00:01:57] Isn't this the greatest thing

[00:02:00] Isn't this the greatest thing

[00:02:02] The greatest thing

[00:02:03] The greatest thing

[00:02:05] Isn't this the greatest

[00:02:07] Isn't this the greatest thing

[00:02:09] Isn't this the greatest thing

[00:02:11] The greatest thing

[00:02:12] The greatest thing

[00:02:14] The greatest thing
