met a coun
try gentleman's wife
Who told me of everything she owned
She showed me her
diamond bracelet
Talked about her stately home
And all through the conversation
Her hand was on my knee
But oh no, country gentleman's wife
It's gonna get possession of me
She told me her country gentleman
Was sixty -five years old
An d as she was only thirty -one,
her bed at night was cold
And if I wouldn't like
to warm it up,
she'd shower me with gratitude
But oh, no country gentleman's wife
is gonna get me in the nude
She told me her country gentleman
was hardly ever at home
And if I would like to call on her,
she'd make sure we were alone
And if I liked we could
have supper,
with sparkle and champagne
But oh, no country gentleman's wife
is gonna get me for games
I told her I was a man with principles
And respected the marriage vows
But if she really wanted to,
she might just persuade me somehow
For one square meal of every day,
an unlimited supply of booze
And any old country gentleman's wife
Can do anything they choose
Any old country gentleman's wife
Can do anything they choose
