Lyrics
He was a species on the verge of extinction
She was an Air New Zealand hostess
They were mystically joined like rabbits in Landauer
Like Pinky and Perky, like Porgy and Bess
Oh he loved the pursuit and the romance
But the details were more amateur
When the bride's veil lifted his mind soon drifted
At least that's what had happened before
Let it blow, let it snow
Let the mercury bubble and dive
Life's little traumas and courtroom dramas
Remind me of collateral life
She loved the clinking of glasses
When the toast was to nobles and princes
In the conjugal nest she was seen at her best
With a keen eye for curtains and chintzes
She had all of the furniture ordered
By the time they were naming the dates
When her mother came speeding from distant Dunedin
To help with the flowers and cake
Let it blow, let it snow
Let the mercury bubble and dive
Life's little traumas and courtroom dramas
Remind me of collateral life
At the chapel of partial remembrance
The ushers went into a seizure
Mr. Bacchus, they said, should we stand on our heads
Would sackcloth and ashes displease you?
And the honeymoon down in Ibiza
Where the sun and the nightlife were hot
As she lay on the sand he said, "Isn't it grand?
I'll bring all of my wives to this spot"
Let it blow, let it snow
Let the mercury bubble and dive
Life's little traumas and courtroom dramas
Remind me of collateral life
And a life of volcanic activity
Left him nothing to spout but hot air
A long interruption since his last eruption
Was disguised by devil-may-care
But some charm and some skill and manoeuvre
Had him rising to meet the occasion
And for once they found bliss
But news of their tryst got to Fleet Street
And caused a sensation
Let it blow, let it snow
Let the mercury bubble and dive
Life's little traumas and courtroom dramas
Remind me of collateral life
And the press were baying for blood now
They gave him a week at the most
We were all glad to see it reach weeks two and three
But the fourth week the whole thing was toast
So she dragged her tail back to New Zealand
With threats of high court and revenge
Meanwhile his eye did stray to the ample bustier
Of a novelty dancer from Penge
Let it blow, let it snow
Let the mercury bubble and dive
Life's little traumas and courtroom dramas
Remind me of collateral life
Let it blow, let it snow
Let the mercury bubble and dive
Life's little traumas and courtroom dramas
Remind me of collateral life
