He Thinks He'll Keep Her

                                   She makes his coffee she makes his bed   She does the laundry she keeps him fed   When she was twenty-one she wore her mother’s lace                          -             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   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 (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" (CHORUS)                              For fifteen years she had a job and not one raise in pay                                 -         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                                 D-E    (ending)
