Say Hello To Mrs Jones

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Say hello to Mrs. Jones in the second-floor apartment Where she's sitting all alone and she wonders where her heart went In the autumn of her years sentimental tears are on the way [Chorus] So say hello to Mrs. Jones, 'cause she needs a friend And she's afraid she'll soon be out on the street again Say hello to Mrs. Jones, sitting all alone Staring at the writing on the wall [Verse 2] And the water's never hot, there's no fire in the basement Her legs are off the cot [?] and she can't afford replacement For the crockery that's cracked, haven't got the sack [?] again today [Chorus] So say hello to Mrs. Jones, 'cause she needs a friend And she's afraid she'll soon be out on the street again So say hello to Mrs. Jones, sitting all alone Staring at the writing on the wall [Bridge] She was only seventeen when she became a bride The years are slipping past her, she's getting older faster Fighting back the loneliness inside [Verse 3] And she doesn't understand what is happening around her In the ruins of her past, or the facts of life that found her She simply says hello, knowing there are no more words to say [Chorus] So say hello to Mrs. Jones, 'cause she needs a friend And she's afraid she'll soon be out on the street again So say hello to Mrs. Jones, sitting all alone Staring at the writing on the wall So say hello to Mrs. Jones So say hello to Mrs. Jones
