THE MILE WORKER   4:10
(Ehlert/Hughes/Laine) 

He was born...on the 2nd of December.
They call him Leo. He lives across from Mrs. Wise.
"Forty one"...it takes up half his night to do it,
there's hell to pay, in setting up his Neon-Lights.

Day by day ! He shows what he's got to  pay for.
Day by day ! He pays  what he's got to show for.

Chorus

  Here's to all the miles I've worked today,
  my wife has run away !
  Here I am - The Mile Worker !

He was so bad!... But he never can remember !
So much for Macho! He settles for his bedroom lies!
Settle-up! (Now Leo) You've got a card, why not use it!
Baccardi-lays... So, fill it up, he's on his way.

Day by day! He shows what he's got to pay for.
Day by day! He pays  what he's got to show for.

Chorus

  Here's to all the miles I've worked today,
  my wife has run away!
  Cheers to all the girls,... they pass my way,   x 2
  they never stop to say... (hi, gorgeous!)

My, my, he's never gonna die, he loves to talk about his
occupation...
My, my, he never has to try, he always seems to have more 
than he needs.
My, my, he's never gonna die, he loves to talk about his
occupation...

Here I am. We just lead him on.

Chorus

  Here's to all the miles I've worked today,
  My wife (cat) has run away!

Repeat.
