She makes his coffee,

She makes his bed
She does the laundry,

She keeps him fed
When she was Meniy-one
She wore her mother's lace
She said forever wiih
A smile upon her face
She does the carpools,

She P.T.A.'s

Doctors 0 nd dentists,

She drives all day
When she was iwenfy-nine

She delivered

Number three
And eve ry

Christmas card
Showed a perfect fa mily
Everything runs
Rig hi on time

Yea rs of practice

And design
Spit and polish

xTil ii shines
He thinks he'll keep her
Everything is so benign

The safest place
You'll ever find
God forbid

You'd change your mind

He thinks he'll keep her
She packs his suitcase,
She sits and waits
With no expression

Upon her face
When she was 1hirfy-six

She met him at 1heir door
She said I'm sorry,

I don't love you anymore
Everything runs
Rig hi on time

Yea rs of practice

And design
Spit and polish

xTil ii shines
He thinks he'll keep her
Everything is so benign

The safest place
You'll ever find
God forbid

You'd change your mind

He thinks he'll keep her
(Instrumental Break)
For fifteen yea rs

She had a job

And not one raise in pay
Now she's in the

Typing pool
At minimum wage
Everything runs
Rig hi on time

Yea rs of practice

And design
Spit and polish

xTil ii shines
He thinks he'll keep her
Everything is so benign

The safest place
You'll ever find
At least uniil

You change your mind
