The Greatest Thing

Everyone stopped when she walked into the room
Isn't this the greatest thing?
Everyone own up but nobody can 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 for ever
Chorus:
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
Cause it's the latest thing
In and out of matrimony
Never once removed the Sony
Cause it's a status thing
So girls like that above described
Are not to be so easily bribed
With a white frock and a diamond 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
(And it's very sordid)
Just because some authority says you can't afford it
(And you can't afford it)
And it's the greatest thing
And it's the greatest thing
And it's the greatest thing
And it's the greatest thing
Oh, it's the greatest
Isn't this the greatest thing?
Isn't this the greatest thing, the greatest thing?
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?
I know a girl who takes my breath away
And it's the greatest thing
And it's the greatest
And it's the greatest thing
Greatest
