This song, like many Kinks songs, lay in the middle of English-y vaudeville shtick, which seems cheap. And at the same time, they hit the nail on the head, socialwise and hookwise and humorwise, which is one reason why they endure.

I love this song as much as I love the Kinks. which is a lot.
my fave of the Brit bands behind the Who (Stones/Beatles are in a separate category).
I also remember this one playing on the car radio when my mom was driving, and when the line “big fat mama,” is sung, saying “i beg your pardon?”
