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

Buy the townhouse

Call the preacher

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

Buy the carphone

Call the broker

Buy the wife a diamond choker

A diamond choker

He's so nervous

When he's with her

Oh he's wasting away

It's so curious

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

Sell the vineyard
Call the lawyer

Gather garbage to destroy her

To destroy her

The perfect girl

The paper chase

The social whirl

The rat race

The perfect girl

The paper chase

The social whirl

The rat race
