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
