Suzy and Johnny were happy Earned enough to pay the rent But Johnny's mother-in-law Had too much ambition
And this made Johnny very upset So to keep his little mama satisfied He went and bought the weekly classified All for peace and quiet's sake
Johnny gave up his position Just to please his mother-in-law So he left the job where he'd been all his life He left and turned his back on door
Now he's looking at the situations vacant Situations vacant Just to keep his little mama satisfied He went and bought the weekly classified All for peace and quiet's sake
Then he had to leave the apartment And sought a less plush residence And poor Suzy and Johnny had to skimp and save Just to help to pay the weekly rent
So to keep his little mama satisfied He went and bought the weekly classified All for peace and quiet's sake
Johnny's got no money, got no where to go Johnny's in a great big hole Suzy's separated, living with her ma Now little mama's satisfied
