J & W Electricians

It was bound to happen sooner or later, sir
Overload of the circuits - we see it all the time
Fraying copper and weakening filaments
No longer fit for a modern way of life

Her Fuse Box is from another time
No more sizzling and sparking, just the peacefulness of ON/OFF
circuit breakers are more cutting edge
50,000 installed for a more perfect society

First, we carefully remove the ganglian fuses
Then the Circuits Limitless, running to and fro
To places Beyond Horatio's philosophy
No longer Queen in her lucid dream

Screwdriver, hammer, and just the front please!
Over the river and through the woods
…and through the eye I go…
And an additional flip of the switch for good measure

Congratulations on your new wife! Now about our "home" warranty plan
15 months of subservience and docility guaranteed on average
…until her warranty expires, of course …
And our Depressed Female Suicide rider will spare you from any messy divorce!
