lyrics

Looking like you just got married,
In your nervous suit and a tie,
With Sweet William in your pocket,
And the Friday Ad stacked up by your side,

Wont you let me take a copy?
To read one on my way,

Wont you let me take a copy?

Of the free ads from yesterday,
Of the free ads from yesterday.

On the street I see a woman,
She pushes an old-time pram,
She got 3 children and wool black dog,
That she ties up on the empty paper stand,

I don’t know her but I see her,
Every single day,
We both pick up the same paper,
Maybe I should lean across and say,

“Raining weather that we’re having”,
“Did you see the storm at sea”?
“I hope you find what you are looking for”,
“In the Friday Ad, or anything”,
“In the Friday Ad, or anything”.
