she comes in about six o’clock
tripping over toys
and picking up socks
and you think her day
had been a ton of trouble
she’s been doing important things
with trading stamps
and turnip greens
and have i noticed how
the price of soap has doubled
she’s as normal as she can be
she never misses jeopardy
and i think that she’d elope
with dick van dyke
and when the kids have all been fed
and when i lay me down to bed
she gives me my time of the night
then she’s a lover
she comes to my side
right around midnight
after her day’s been so confused
that’s why i love her
and that’s why i do right
and if there’s a reason
god gave me a feeling
baby it’s you
she hates tangerines
she loves the ring
volunteers me for everything
and the bank has never
been right in her life
she thinks my uncle bill’s a sap
she’s taught me words like overdraft
the only numbers she remembers
is her shoe size
she had words with the guy next door
and almost started a neighborhood war
cause he said something smart
to our son bob
and therefore i had to invite him in
to apologize and convince him
she really didn’t think he was
a big fat slob
she’s as normal as she can be
she never misses jeopardy
and i think that she’d elope
with dick van dyke
but when the kids have all been fed
and when i lay me down to bed
she gives me my time of the night
then she’s a lover
she comes to my side
right around midnight
after her day’s been so confused
that’s why i love her
and that’s why i do right
and if there’s a reason
god gave me a feeling
baby it’s you
then she’s a lover
she comes to my side
