I wanna tell you 'bout my mountain home

Where all the ladies name's are Joan

Where husband works back late at night

Hopes are up, for trousers down, with the hostess on a business

flight

Taxi in a Mercedes drive

I hope that driver's comin' out alive

The garden it is Dorseted, that lady she's so corseted

She's got 15 ways to lead that boy astray

Thinks he's one and only, but that lovely she's so lonely

She pumps him full of breakfast, and she sends him on his way

Pre-chorus

 What a sing, song, dance

What

  performance

 What a cheap tent show

 Oh, no, no, no, no, no

Chorus

 Then the boys light up ) x 2

 Then the boys light up, light up, light up )

 Break

Silently she opens the drawer

Mother's little helper is comin' out for more

Strategically positioned, before the midday show

 That back is arched, those lips are parched, repeated blow by

blow

 And later at the party, where all the MP's rave

 'Bout the hummers she's been givin', and the money that they

saved

 To her it is skin lotion, him promotion too

 That flat in Surfers' Paradise, with the ocean view
