(Isn't this the greatest thing)
Everyone own up and 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 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 convention
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 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
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
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
