FUTURE EX-MRS JONES
(Dolores Tolbert)

June Stearns - 1968
Norma Jean - 1968


Well, the next time you come home with lipstick fresh from that blonde
Swearin' you've been at the office till twenty-five-past-one
Yeah, you've worked like a slave all night, tired to your bones
You'll be lyin' to the future ex-Mrs Jones

Well, I don't expect an angel, after all you're a man
But you run it in the ground, I'm a-gonna break it all if I can
Yeah, the next time you go out with her, when you come a-draggin' home
You'll be lookin' at the future ex-Mrs Jones

(Instrumental Break)

Well, frankly boy, I'm not stupid, that ain't red ink
I'm familiar with the colour, that's hanky-panky thing
I think the work you do at night, you better do at home
For you'll be workin' for the future ex-Mrs Jones

Well, I don't expect an angel, after all you're a man
But you run it in the ground and I'm a-gonna break it all if I can
Yeah, the next time you go out with her, when you come a-draggin' home
You'll be lookin' at the future ex-Mrs Jones
