Lyrics for Mr. Pleasant

Oh Mr. Pleasant, How is Mrs. Pleasant? I hope the world is treating you right And your head's in the air And you're feeling so proud 'Cause you're such a success And the whole wide world is on your side, Hey, hey How are you today? People said Mr. Pleasant is good Mr. Pleasant is kind, Mr. Pleasant's okay Mr. Pleasant don't mind As long as Mr. Pleasant's all right, Hey, hey How are you today? How's your father, how's your mother? How's your sister, how's your brother? How's your brand new limousine? Twenty-four inch TV screen? Did you like prosperity More than you liked poverty? Life is easier, so much easier, Life is easier now Oh Mr. Pleasant, How is Mrs. Pleasant? Did you know she was flirting around With another young man? And he's taking her out When you have to work late And it's not so pleasant after all, Hey, hey How are you today? People said Mr. Pleasant is good (Mr. Pleasant is good) Mr. Pleasant is kind (Mr. Pleasant is kind) Mr. Pleasant's okay (Mr. Pleasant's okay) Mr. Pleasant don't mind As long as Mr. Pleasant's all right, Hey, hey How are you today? Mr. Pleasant is good Mr. Pleasant is kind Mr. Pleasant's okay Hey, hey How are you today?
