Oh Mr Pleasant

How is Mrs Pleasant?

I hope the world is treating you right

And your head's in the air

And you're feeling so proud,

Cos you're such a success

And the whole wide world is on your side (hey-hey)

How are you today?



People say "Mr Pleasant is good"

"Mr Pleasant is kind"

"Mr Pleasant's okay"

"Mr Pleasant don't mind"

As long as Mr Pleasant's alright (hey-hey)

How are you today?



How's your father? How's your mother?

How's your sister? How's your brother?

How's your brand new limosuine? 24 inch TV screen!

Did you like prosperity, more than you like poverty?



Life is easier, so much easier

Life is easier now



Oh Mr Pleasant

How is Mrs Pleasant?

Did you know she was flirting around

With another young man?

And he's taking her out

When you have to work late

And it's not so pleasant after all (hey-hey)

How are you today?



People say "Mr Pleasant is good"

"Mr Pleasant is kind"

"Mr Pleasant's okay"

"Mr Pleasant don't mind"

As long as Mr Pleasant's alright (hey-hey)

How are you today?



("Mr Pleasant is good")

("Mr Pleasant is kind")

("Mr Pleasant's okay")
