Snakes And Ladders

He

In a shopping mall

Finally met the perfect girl

She is all that matters

The only one in all the world

Like a Barbie doll

Oh love is snakes and ladders

Snakes and ladders

She

Just to have and hold

Is the perfect air-brushed angel

Makes you hot just looking at her

Stapled into all his braincells

Like a centerfold

Oh love is snakes and ladders

Snakes and ladders

Get to the top and slide back down

Get to the bottom climb back up

Buy the townhouse

Call the preacher

Get to the bottom climb back up

Get to the top and slide back down

Get to the bottom climb back up

Set up credit for the lovely creature

The lovely creature

He

On a corporate climb

Set his sights on power for her

On a silver platter

He gave up happy hour for her

Perrier and lime

Oh love is snakes and ladders

Snakes and ladders

She

In a handsome world

Put her mind to social graces

All the privileged chatter

Setting pretty table places

For the girls in pearls

Oh love is snakes and ladders

Snakes and ladders

Get to the top and slide back down

Get to the bottom climb back up

Buy the carphone,

Call the broker

Get to the bottom climb back up

Get to the top and slide back down

Get to the bottom climb back up

Buy the wife a diamond choker

A diamond choker

True love, true love, true love

He's so nervous

New love, new love, new love

When he's with her

Oh, he's wasting away

True love, true love, true love

It's so curious

New love, new love, new love

Just to kiss her

To kiss her, to kiss her, to kiss her

To kiss her, to kiss her, to kiss her

To kiss her he has to shave

She

In the gilded mirrors

In the swing of fancy places

Where the black ties flatter

Started seeing other faces

Young-fogie-financiers

Oh love is snakes and ladders

Snakes and ladders

See

In the crimes of time

How the seasons steal away

How the rungs are shattered

First you're green then you're grey

Still the snakes unwind

Still playin' snakes and ladders

Snakes and ladders

Get to the top and slide back down

Get to the bottom climb back up

Sell the vineyard

Call the lawyer

Get to the bottom climb back up

Get to the top and slide back down

Get to the bottom climb back up

Gather garbage to destroy her

To destroy her

Ladders, ladders, ladders

The perfect girl

Ladders, ladders, ladders

The paper chase Love is snakes and ladders

Ladders, ladders, ladders

The social whirl

Ladders, ladders

The rat race

Barbie doll
