Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mr. Jones, put a wiggle in your stride
Loosen up, I believe he'll be alright
Changing clothes, now he's got ventilated slacks
Bouncing off the walls, Mr. Jones is back
[Verse 2]
Bulge out and wind your waist
Tight pants and got curly hair
Drinkin' cold beer from a metal can
Moonshine and handy wipes
[Verse 3]
Mr. Jones is back in town
It's his lucky day
Hold up your hands and shout
Jones is on his way
[Verse 4]
(Mr. Jones)
(Will that be cash or charge, Mr. Jones?)
[Verse 5]
Pitter pat, Mr. Jones is back in town
Aces high and now his pants are falling down
He looks so fine in those patent leather shoes
Mr. Jones, you look tired, I believe you'll be alright
[Verse 6]
Salesmen, conventioneers
Some rock stars with tambourines
Short skirts and skinny legs
Sellin' bibles and real estate
[Verse 7]
It's a big day for Mr. Jones
He is not so square
Mr. Jones will stick aorund
He's everybody's friend
[Verse 8]
Fast cars and motorbikes
I'm sure glad he's on our side
The Jones gang is down at the bar
Watch out, this time they've gone too far
[Verse 9]
They call for Mr. Jones
They put him in charge
Mr. Jones will help us out
He's a lucky guy
[Verse 10]
It is Mr. Jones birthday party
For another year
In his hotel room, party favors
It's a holiday
[Verse 11]
(Mr. Jones)
(Telephone call for Mr. Jones)
(Mr. Jones is down at the bar, sir)
