|
Miserable mrs. green sit by yourself and think awhile |
|
Of all that once could have been instead of what is now |
|
How does it even feel, you're no longer madame butterfly |
|
Yesterday operas have quickly passed you by |
|
(chorus) |
|
Mrs. green, you're older but you're really no more cleaver |
|
Things that you were thinking i am thinking i will never think at all |
|
Volumes of photographs held in your einsenhower hands |
|
Newer world intellect could never understand |
|
You tore yourself apart all for the neighborhood and kids |
|
And never forgave yourself for acting as you did |
|
(chorus) |
|
Where is your family and why did they lock you up inside |
|
And what will they talk about after you have died |
|
Who scared the birds away by lining the nest with demands |
|
And using the iron first but not a helping hand |
|
(chorus) |
|
Mrs. green i know you're not as happy as you can be |
|
As you watch my new leaf turn, you're turning green with envy over me |
