Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ahhhhh

Arthur loves his wife and children
Arthur takes lunch everyday
Arthur likes it at the local
Likes his pint at end of day

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-Arthur
There's problems lurking 'round the corner
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-Arthur
She's already had one owner

Arthur talks to sexy Frida
Takes her milk there every day
Frida's telling hungry Arthur
Of the debt she'd like to pay
But she hasn't got the money
Arthur coughs to clear the air
Asks him in and calls him "honey"
Up they toggle up the stairs
Hey!

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-Arthur
There's problems lurking 'round the corner
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-Arthur
She's already had one owner

Arthur hates his wife and children
Makes his own lunch every day
Likes it down at sexy Frida's
Frida takes a pint a day

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-Arthur
There's problems lurking 'round the corner
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-Arthur
She's already had one owner

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-Arthur
There's problems lurking 'round the corner
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-Arthur
She's already had one owner
Hey

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-Arthur, yeah yeah yeah (Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah)
There's problems lurking 'round the corner (Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ahhhhh)
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-Arthur (Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah)
She's already had one owner (Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ahhhhh)
Hey

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-Arthur (Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah)
There's problems lurking 'round the corner (Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ahhhhh)
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-Arthur (Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah)
She's already had one owner (Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ahhhhh)

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-Arthur (Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah)
There's problems lurking 'round the corner, yeah-eah (Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ahhhhh)
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-Arthur (Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah)
She's already had one owner (Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ahhhhh)
