Say Hello To Mrs Jones

[Verse 1]
Say hello to Mrs. Jones in the second-floor apartment
Where she's sitting all alone and she wonders where her heart went
In the autumn of her years sentimental tears are on the way

[Chorus]
So say hello to Mrs. Jones, 'cause she needs a friend
And she's afraid she'll soon be out on the street again
Say hello to Mrs. Jones, sitting all alone
Staring at the writing on the wall

[Verse 2]
And the water's never hot, there's no fire in the basement
Her legs are off the cot [?] and she can't afford replacement
For the crockery that's cracked, haven't got the sack [?] again today

[Chorus]
So say hello to Mrs. Jones, 'cause she needs a friend
And she's afraid she'll soon be out on the street again
So say hello to Mrs. Jones, sitting all alone
Staring at the writing on the wall

[Bridge]
She was only seventeen when she became a bride
The years are slipping past her, she's getting older faster
Fighting back the loneliness inside

[Verse 3]
And she doesn't understand what is happening around her
In the ruins of her past, or the facts of life that found her
She simply says hello, knowing there are no more words to say

[Chorus]
So say hello to Mrs. Jones, 'cause she needs a friend
And she's afraid she'll soon be out on the street again
So say hello to Mrs. Jones, sitting all alone
Staring at the writing on the wall

So say hello to Mrs. Jones
So say hello to Mrs. Jones
