intro
SOL SOL MIm DO
She makes his coffee, she makes his bed
SOL SOL MIm DO
She does the laundry, she keeps him fed
RE RE LAm LAm
When she was twenty-one she wore her mother's lace
RE RE MIm - DO RE
She said forever with a smile upon her face
She does the carpool, she PTA's
Doctors and dentists, she drives all day
When she was twenty-nine she delivered number three
And every christmas card showed a perfect family
SOL RE DO RE SOL
Everything runs right on time, years of practice and design
RE DO RE
Spit and polish till it shines, he thinks he'll keep her
SOL RE DO RE SOL
Everything is so benign, safest place you'll ever find
RE DO RE
God forbid you'd change your mind, he thinks he'll keep her
SOL SOL MIm DO
[instrumental]
She packs his suitcase, she sits and waits
With no expression upon her face
When she was thirty-six she met him at the door
She said, "I'm sorry, I don't love you anymore"
Everything runs right on time, years of practice and design
Spit and polish till it shines, he thinks he'll keep her
Everything is so benign, safest place you'll ever find
God forbid you'd change your mind, he thinks he'll keep her
[4 bars of instrumental]
RE RE LAm LAm
For fifteen years she had a job and not one raise in pay
RE RE MIm - DO RE
Now she's in the typing pool at minimum wage
Everything runs right on time, years of practice and design
Spit and polish till it shines, he thinks he'll keep her
Everything is so benign, safest place you'll ever find
At least until you change your mind, he thinks he'll keep her
SOL SOL MIm DO SOL SOL MIm DO SOL SOL MIm DO SOL SOL MIm DO-D SOL
