The Greatest Thing
Elvis Costello

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 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 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
