The Greatest Thing (Album Version) - Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Everyone stopped when she walked into the room

Isn't this the greatest thing

Everyone own up but nobody could touch her

Isn't this the greatest thing

Punch the clock keep boxing clever

(Isn't this the greatest thing)

You'll be young enough forever

(Isn't this the greatest thing )

Isn't this the greatest

Isn't this the greatest thing

Isn't this the greatest thing

The greatest thing

I heard some new confection

Said we can't afford to feel affection

(And it's the lastest thing)

In and out of matrimony

Never once removed the Sony

('Cos it's a status thing)

So girls like that above described

Are not to be so easily bribed

(With a white frock and a ring)

Punch the clock and in time you'll get pulled apart

If you're married on paper and not in your heart

But I won't be told that life with the one you love is sordid

Just because some authority says you can't afford it

It is the greatest thing

It is the greatest thing

It is the greatest thing

It is the greatest thing

Oh it's the greatest

Isn't this the greatest thing

Isn't this the greatest thing

The greatest thing

Since nights were long and days were olden

Woman to man has been beholden

(But since then times have been changing)

She sends back his tribute of a rose

And says this ring is better suited for the nose

(He's always fingering)

I punch the clock and it's okay

I know a girl who takes my breath away

And it's the greatest

Isn't this the greatest thing

Isn't this the greatest thing

The greatest thing

The greatest thing

Isn't this the greatest

Isn't this the greatest thing

Isn't this the greatest thing

The greatest thing

The greatest thing

The greatest thing
