Trials And Tribulations Lyrics

    The swiss miss girl made her fortune
    Doing commercials on tv
    But "easy come, easy go" was
    Her philosophy
    She spent all of her money
    She was searching for some cash
    So she went to her friend capt 'n crunch
    Whom she'd met at a hollywood bash

    The second that he saw her
    He said, "i bet you're in need
    Of some dough"
    Perplexed and confused she asked him,
    "oh but captain how did you know?"
    Laughingly he responded,
    "it was really just a lucky hunch"
    With tears in her eyes she pleaded,
    "will you help me out capt 'n crunch?"

    The trials and tribulations
    Of the swiss miss girl
    She's got a famous reputation
    And she's known throughout the world
    But life's no bed of roses
    She would change things if she could
    She plans to make a brand new start
    And move out of hollywood

    The captain now was grinning
    He felt he had her in the palm of his hand
    He said, "darlin' you're a penniless woman
    And i'm a wealthy man"
    You know the rules of the game by now
    I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine
    He said, "let me take you out
    And we'll talk about this
    Over a bottle of wine"

    The swiss miss girl was disgusted
    And she smacked him right in his face
    Then she took his hat
    And she stamped on that
    Just to put him in his place
    But the old man was persistent
    He would not be undaunted
    The more that he'd been taunted
    The more she turned him on

    Then the captain made a pass at the swiss miss girl
    Tryin' to show her his affection
    She screamed for help and when she did...
    Mr. clean came to her protection

    The trials and tribulations
    Of the swiss miss girl
    She's got a famous reputation
    And she's known throughout the world
    But life's no bed of roses
    She would change things if she could
    She plans to make a brand new start
    And move out of hollywood
