Lyrics
TOO MUCH MILEAGE OUT OF THAT Morris P Rainville Dorothy Rainville Chorus You're getting too much mileage out of that Just too much mileage out of that Change the subject, I'm a nervous wreck You're getting too much mileage out of that. In the morning, I read the papers And I make comments, to my poor wife She puts up with my ranting and raving And then she says, with a funny smile. I'll make some comments about a court case Milked by lawyers for what it's worth More politicians lining their pockets Then my wife puts in, her five cents worth. The kids and I will play on words In any story that we tell Sometimes it does get quite absurd And then my wife will finally yell. 1989 SOCAN (bmi)
