Domestic Life

John Conlee


Cruising in my station wagon trying to keep my muffler from dragging 
Sometimes it seems so defeating as I'm trying to make it to the Cub Scout meeting 
Ooh I dream about Mexico Where all the pretty people go 
We're on a budget that just won't budge, not much money but a whole lot of love 

Living that domestic life, happy children and a pretty wife 
Our cocker spaniel's always having puppies, how can anybody be so lucky 
See me mowing my domestic yard, lord I owe my soul to Master Card 
But it seems to suit me to a tee, that domestic life's all right with me 

Our neighbor's names are Fred and Ruth; he wears a lot of leisure suits 
She sells Avon and Tupperware too, we're always ducking all the bull they shoot 
Ooh I'll never be president and we never seem to save a cent 
But things are looking better everyday, hell I'm sergeant at arms of the PTA 

Living that domestic life, happy children and a pretty wife 
Our cocker spaniel's always having puppies, how can anybody be so lucky 
See me mowing my domestic yard, lord I owe my soul to Master Card 
But it seems to suit me to a tee, that domestic life's all right with me 

Living that domestic life, happy children and a pretty wife 
Our cocker spaniel's always having puppies, how can anybody be so lucky 
See me mowing my domestic yard, lord I owe my soul to Master Card 
But it seems to suit me to a tee, that domestic life's all right with me
