When she was small and weak and white,
he was like her shining knight.
Hymns and prayers were sung nightly
and God was still seen as Almighty:
life was well
Now she is big and strong and tanned.
She takes her pick, in fact he's banned
from their pink bedroom and gets lonely.
The marriage works but in name only:
life is hell
His bed is now in the basement.
He has resigned to his replacement.
Anna Marie has taken lovers
yes, indeed, as she discovers:
life is swell
