lyrics

Mr. Milton, Mr. Milton, we're at the Doug, he's at the Hilton
We're at the spoon, he's at Le Crocodile

We're eating cheese he's eating snail,
pulling five figures we're working at scale
We go to our job, all he does is play

Betty the baker, she's a real shaker, mixing it up at the bar
Willy the wagger, he's a real bragger, says that he'll make me a star

One day I'm gonna jump over the moon, maybe I'll write me a best selling tune but ‘till that day I will listen
to the man with the horn who can play

One day I'm gonna jump over the moon, maybe I'll write me a
best selling tune ‘till that day I will listen
to the man with the horn who can play

Mr. Milton, Mr. Milton, we're at the Doug he's at the Hilton
We're at the spoon, he's at Le Crocodile

We're eating cheese he's eating snail
pulling five figures we're working at scale
We go to our job, all he does is play

Mr. Milton, Mr. Milton, we're at the Doug he's at the Hilton
We're eating cheese he's eating snail
go to our job, all he does is play

He’s Mr. Milton, the man with the horn who can play
