  • Mrs. Jones is 17 and 6 and 24 moderately pretty
    She is all the girls you know
    We are going far away, we're going for a ride
    Mr. Jones has got a plan if you just come inside

    So good, so far, slow down ha ha
    Movie stars and ads
    And radio define romance
    Don't turn it on, I don't want to dance

    Mr. Jones is beautiful, your eyes are made of glass
    Looking through the window you can see the world go past
    Here's another 9 o'clock and here's another day
    Wonder how the weather is and what the people say

    So good, so far, slow down ha ha
    Movie stars and ads
    And radio define romance
    Don't turn it on, I don't want to dance

    Mr. Jones can turn you on and turn you off again
    Mr. Jones is all of you who live inside a plan
    Put your head upon the pillow never put it down
    That would only wake you up and turn your head around

    So good, so far, slow down ha ha
    Movie stars and ads
    And radio define romance
    Don't turn it on, I don't want to dance
