The Kinks
Situation Vacant
[Verse 1]
Suzy and Johnny were happy
Earned enough to pay the rent
But Johnny's mother-in-law had too much ambition
And this made Johnny very upset

[Chorus]
So to keep his little mama satisfied
He went and bought the weekly classified
All for peace and quiet's sake

[Verse 2]
Johnny gave up his position
Just to please his mother-in-law
So he left the job where he'd been all his life
He left and turned his back on door

[Pre-Chorus]
Now he's looking at the situations vacant
Situations vacant

[Chorus]
Just to keep his little mama satisfied
He went and bought the weekly classified
All for peace and quiet's sake
[Verse 3]
Then he had to leave the apartment
And sought a less plush residence
And poor Suzy and Johnny had to skimp and save
Just to help to pay the weekly rent

[Chorus]
So to keep his little mama satisfied
He went and bought the weekly classified
All for peace and quiet's sake

[Verse 4]
Johnny's got no money
Got nowhere to go
Johnny's in a great big hole
Suzy's separated, living with her mom
Now little mama's satisfied
