| Lyrics |
He In a shopping mall
Finally met the perfect girl She is all that matters
The only one in all the world Like a Barbie doll
Oh love is snakes and ladders
Snakes and ladders
She Just to have and hold
Is the perfect air-brushed angel Makes you hot just looking at her
Stapled into all his braincells Like a centerfold
Oh love is snakes and ladders
Snakes and ladders
Get to the top and slide back down
Get to the bottom climb back up
Buy the townhouse
Call the preacher
Get to the bottom climb back up
Get to the top and slide back down
Get to the bottom climb back up
Set up credit for the lovely creature
The lovely creature
He On a corporate climb
Set his sights on power for her On a silver platter
He gave up happy hour for her Perrier and lime
Oh love is snakes and ladders
Snakes and ladders
She In a handsome world
Put her mind to social graces All the privileged chatter
Setting pretty table places For the girls in pearls
Oh love is snakes and ladders
Snakes and ladders
Get to the top and slide back down
Get to the bottom climb back up
Buy the carphone--
Call the broker
Get to the bottom climb back up
Get to the top and slide back down
Get to the bottom climb back up
Buy the wife a diamond choker
A diamond choker
True love--true love--true love
He's so nervous
New love--new love--new love
When he's with her
Oh--he's wasting away
True love--true love--true love
It's so curious
New love--new love--new love
Just to kiss her
To kiss her--to kiss her--to kiss her
To kiss her--to kiss her--to kiss her
To kiss her he has to shave
She In the gilded mirrors
In the swing of fancy places Where the black ties flatter
Started seeing other faces Young-fogie-financiers
Oh love is snakes and ladders
Snakes and ladders
See In the crimes of time
How the seasons steal away How the rungs are shattered
First you're green then you're grey Still the snakes unwind
Still playin' snakes and ladders
Snakes and ladders
Get to the top and slide back down
Get to the bottom climb back up
Sell the vineyard
Call the lawyer
Get to the bottom climb back up
Get to the top and slide back down
Get to the bottom climb back up
Gather garbage to destroy her
To destroy her
Ladders--ladders--ladders
The perfect girl
Ladders--ladders--ladders
The paper chase Love is snakes and ladders
Ladders--ladders--ladders
The social whirl
Ladders--ladders
The rat race Barbie doll
