in the stiletto boots
and the hair with the roots
She comes in as a rule
to get the nails done
and the tan for the sun
when the kids are in school

Donâ (TM)t begrudge her the Merc
itâ (TM)s been nothing but work
and a hard life
Losing her looks
over company books

- the scaffolderâ (TM)s wife

In the wicked old days
when they went it alone
kept the company going
on a wing and a prayer
They donâ (TM)t pay what they owe
when they have the cash flow
- they donâ (TM)t care

Donâ (TM)t begrudge her the Merc
itâ (TM)s been nothing but work
and a hard life
Losing her looks
over company books
- the scaffolderâ (TM)s wife
