With our heads full of gray by the end of the day
Won't you pour me a Mapleine tonic
Lower the shades on the terms of the trade
And the gale of the barreling comet

My mind is easy
My mind is easy
Near my queasy stomach

Here come my fears
Assailing me merrily, caroling stereophonic
And it's breaking your heart to see
How far they've got to me
That's a cornerstone of ordinary home economics

We've got doctors and plumbers
And camps for the summer
To cancel, rеschedule and promise
I answеr the phone and make plans and postpone
And atone for all of my wrongness

And my mind is easy
My mind is easy
Though bees be seizing my bonnet

The worry and guilt and my heels
Carry me up the hill
'Til I keel at the summit

And this hunger and scarcity
It just doesn't seem fair to me
With all the rest of them not invested in these home economics

But I would not be far from you
I wish not to part from you
And I love you, I want just to show it
It's worth any verse that I may never write
Though it hurts tonight to know it

But my mind is easy
My mind is easy
You're everything that I wanted

You're laughing at things that you're saying
And your soft little weight in my lap like a rabbit

And I'd do anything for you
But just what do you think I do?
Cue the gramophone
Leave your momma in my home economics

If you reckon it's stifling, being a housewife
In the guise of your glowing electronics
You should know there's no version of ours that incurred
No life like we were promised

But my mind is easy
My mind is easy
I'm only one in a long list
Who birth and who nurse
And who serve and return to the earth
With no purchase upon it

And I cannot tell you no lies, children
You cannot sell or buy
What cannot be owned
That's a property of home economics
