Miss Davina - Birth Control

Miss Davina

Did your ancestors own that house

Do you join in the parties

While he’s off shooting grouse

Do you know, what you’re missing

Yeah, can you tell who he’s kissing now, oh no

I say, I say

Miss Davina

I say I don’t envy you at all

And if you felt lonely

Could you give him a call

(Trying to connect you)

Do you know what you’re missing

Yeah, can you tell who he’s kissing, now

A wedding ring is just the thing

To make you think, while on the brink

Of a new kind of life, oho, a celebrated wife

(Think it over, give yourself time

Miss Davina, a celebrated wife?)

Miss Davina

And did you ever, ever have the right

To chew the whole thing over

Sleep on it at night

Or did you have to decide, straight away

Yeah not to be his bride, anyway

A wedding ring is just the thing

To make you think, while on the brink

Of a new kind of life, oho, a celebrated wife

A celebrated wife — entertaining — smiling

Always smiling (always smiling)

Shaking hands — thousands of them

Constant visits — yeah you’d miss it (Yeah, you’d miss it)

Oh, oh, yeah, the single life

Oh, yeah, (the simple life) the simple life

Oh, no, no, no, no, a celebrated wife
