2 Two For The Price Of One
Written by: (B. Andersson / B. Ulvaeus)
He had what you might
call a trivial occupation
he cleaned the platforms
of the local railway station
with no romance in his life
sometimes he wished
he had a wife
he read the matrimonial
advertising pages
the cries for help
from different people
different ages
but they had nothing to say
at least not until the day
when something special he read
this is what it said
If you dream of
the girl for you
then call us and get
two for the price of one
we’re the answer
if you feel blue
so call us and get
two for the price of one
He called the number and a voice said
Alice Whiting
the voice was husky
and it sounded quite exciting
he was amazed
at his luck
the purest streak
of gold he’d struck
he said, I read
your ad, it sounded
rather thrilling
I think a meeting
could be mutually
fulfilling
why don’t we meet
for a chat
the three of us
in my flat
I can’t forget
what I read
this is what it said
If you dream of
the girl for you
then call us and get
two for the price of one
we’re the answer
if you feel blue
so call us and get
two for the price of one
She said I’m sure
we must be perfect
for each other
and if you doubt
it you’ll be
certain when
you meet my mother
