Eurovision 1991 Norway:
Just 4 Fun - "Mrs. Thompson"
Mrs. Thompson
Undergrunn' er alltid sen og toget ute av rute
Men jobben må du rekke likevel
Sjefen tror på overtid, hvis ikke er du ute
Men klokka er blitt fem, så det er kveld
Og på toget hjem igjen
Når du sovner, kommer drømmen av seg selv
For livet kaller, hjertet slår
Og kan du høre, Mrs. Thompson?
Og tiden bare går og går
Men hva gjør du, Mrs. Thompson?
Kom igjen
Foreldremøte mandag, og tirsdag foran TV'n
Og onsdag gjør hun yoga for seg selv
Torsdag kommer jentene, på fredag er det huset
Talglys og rødvin lørdag kveld
Hele søndagen i seng
Når hun sover, kommer drømmen om igjen
For livet kaller, hjertet slår
Og kan du høre, Mrs. Thompson?
Og tiden bare går og går
Men hva gjør du, Mrs. Thompson?
Kom igjen
For livet kaller, hjertet slår
Og kan du høre, Mrs. Thompson?
Og tiden bare går og går
Men hva gjør du, Mrs. Thompson?
La meg presentere deg
For alle tiders Mrs. Thompson
En hverdagshelt som viser vei
Trå til og gjør det, Mrs. Thompson
Kom igjen
For livet kaller, hjertet slår
Og kan du høre, Mrs. Thompson?
Og tiden bare går og går
Men hva gjør du, Mrs. Thompson?
La meg presentere deg for аlle tiderѕ…
Mrs. Thompson
The underground is always late, and the trains don't run
But you have to make it to work anyway
Your boss believes in overtime, otherwise you're out
But it's already five o'clock, so it's evening
And on the train on the way home
When you fall asleep, the dream comes on its own
'Cause life is calling, your heart is beating
And can you hear it, Mrs. Thompson?
And time is just passing by
But what are you doing, Mrs. Thompson?
Come on
PTA meeting on Monday, and Tuesday in front of the TV
On Wednesday she does yoga by herself
On Thursday the girls come round, on Friday it's the housework
Candles and red wine Saturday evening
The whole Sunday in bed
When she's sleeping the dream returns once again
'Cause life is calling, your heart is beating
And can you hear it, Mrs. Thompson?
And time is just passing by
But what are you doing, Mrs. Thompson?
Come on
'Cause life is calling, your heart is beating
And can you hear it, Mrs. Thompson?
And time is just passing by
But what are you doing, Mrs. Thompson?
Let me introduce you
To the great Mrs. Thompson
An everyday hero who leads the way
Go for it and do it, Mrs. Thompson
Come on
'Cause life is calling, your heart is beating
And can you hear it, Mrs. Thompson?
And time is just passing by
But what are you doing, Mrs. Thompѕon?
Let me introduce you to the greаt…
Mrs. Thompson
The train is never in on time, the tube is always crazy
To get to work, you've half a mile to run
The boss believes in overtime, he thinks you're bein' lazy
But nine to five's enough for anyone
Leaving London, going home
Dreaming sun and sea and all family
The world is calling out for you
Oh can't you hear them, Mrs. Thompson?
The world is looking up to you
Oh you're a hero, Mrs. Thompson
Yes, you are
Monday is her German night, Tuesday, she does yoga
And Wednesday after school's the P.T.A
Thursday dine by candlelight, Friday she's hungover
The weekend shopping's done on Saturday
Sunday she unwinds at home
Dreaming through the night alone, 9 A.M
The world is calling out for you
Oh can't you hear them, Mrs. Thompson?
The world is looking up to you
Oh you're a hero, Mrs. Thompson
Yes, you are
Why are you drunk? – Things to do
The one and only Mrs. Thompson
The world is watching all you do
Oh this is your time, Mrs. Thompson
Here we go
The world is calling out for you
Oh can't you hear them, Mrs. Thompson?
The world is lookin' up to you
Oh you're a hero, Mrs. Thompson
Yes, you are
A lonely spot inside of you
You're in the spotlight, Mrs. Thompson
The world is watching all you do
Oh this is your time, Mrs. Thompson
Here we go
The world is calling out for you
Oh can't you hear them, Mrs. Thompson?
The world is looking up to you
Oh you're a hero, Mrs. Thompson
Yes, you are
Why аre you drunk? – Thingѕ to do…
