Verse 1:

In the event of something happening to me

There is something I would like you all to see

It's just a photograph of someone that I knew



Chorus:

Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?

Do you know what it's like on the outside?

Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide,

Mr. Jones.



Verse 2:

I keep straining my ears to hear a sound

Maybe someone is digging underground

Or have they given up and all gone home to bed?

Thinking those who once existed must be dead?



Chorus:

Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?

Do you know what it's like on the outside?

Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide,

Mr. Jones



Verse 3 (repeat of verse 1):

In the event of something happening to me

There is something I would like you all to see

It's just a photograph of someone that I knew



Chorus:

Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?

Do you know what it's like on the outside?

Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide,

Mr. Jo - o - o - o - ones
