Appliances

about

The secret to a successful relationship is discovering activities you enjoy doing together - like buying appliances.

lyrics

It’s not always easy getting on with married life
I know that you’ll agree if you’ve a husband or a wife
you need a hobby or activity, that you can do together as a team

Last year we tried philosophy but it made us argue more
then we both went cycling till some bits of mine got sore
It took a while for us to both concur, on something that fulfils both me and her

We buy appliances, it doesn’t matter what they do
We buy appliances, don’t knock it, it may work for you
We buy appliances, they’re so shiny when they’re new
We buy appliances.

appliances to brush out teeth, appliances to cut our meat
appliances to soak our feet, appliances just can’t be beat
appliances to dry our hair and suck the water from the air
We buy appliances

We found we were both dreaming of a trip to Harvey Leeming
Let L. V. Martin put it right whenever we have had a fight
for married bliss we need no magic wand,
they’ve got everything we need at Bond & Bond

So while some folks might go camping, other couples like to dance
or watch those arty movies all about things they only do in France
we just take a trip down to the mall
for something we can plug into the wall

We buy appliances, it doesn’t matter what they do
We buy appliances, don’t knock it, it may work for you
We buy appliances, we’ve collected quite a few
We buy appliances.

appliances to brush out teeth, appliances to cut our meat
appliances to soak our feet, appliances just can’t be beat
appliances to warm our towels, appliances to shave our jowls
appliances to roast our fowls, appliances for boys and gals
appliances to bake our bread, appliances to use in bed
appliances…..instead, in case I’m just not interested
appliances to dry our hair and suck the water from the air
We buy appliances
We buy appliances
We buy appliances.
