Mrs. Cooper’s Tea Party Margaret Lewis

[Verse 1]
Did you read the mornin' paper?
If you did, I wonder if you read the note
Where the Coopers have announced
That they were movin' to the big old house next door
Well, they'll bring along their Cadillac, their sports car
And their big old fishin' boat
And she'll bring along binoculars
To keep an eye upon the simple folk

[Verse 2]
Well, you know they're pretty classy
And they just can't stand the sight of beer and gin
We oughta buy a case
And have it ready for the day that they move in
We oughta walk right over, pop a top
And say, "How are you folks doin'?"
Then watch Mrs. Cooper call the mayor
Tell him that the neighborhood's a ruin

[Verse 3]
Well, they have a dog that wears a coat and tie
And has some artificial teeth
He lives on steak and gravy
And there really ain't no tellin' where he sleeps
Mrs. Cooper has two maids
And says she simply cannot stand the sight of dirt
But not many people know
She has a brother doin' time in Leavenworth
