Hey junior mister living on your own they're whispering in the corridors, raking up old bones storm's gonna break, you're gonna need some cover better find yourself a significant other 'cos the red-top rags and the glossy magazines and the files on the walls are gonna wanna peep behind the scenes and they'll decide who gets between the covers see, there's me and there's you and there's significant others. Who you with when you go down town? who you with when the word gets round? who's that keeping you out all night? who's that making you feel alright? A a man needs a maid and a heart needs a home like Peters and Lee, like Robson and Jerome Lenin and the Beatles, Marx and the Brothers everybody needs their significant others. Instrumental: Who you with when you go down town? who you with when the word gets round? who's that keeping you out all night? who's that making you feel alright? Well Clark needed Lois and Janet needed John and what you don't know is you're gonna miss me when I'm gone and someday soon you're gonna wake up discover everybody needs a significant other. Instrumental: everybody needs a significant other Instrumental: everybody a significant
