To get the nails done
They don’t care
Kept the company goin’
Don’t begrudge her the Merc
The scaffolder’s wife
She comes in as a rule
She might take the top down
With a face that’s as hard
And the tan for the sun
As a scaffolder’s bar
It’s been nothin’ but work and a hard life
When the kids are in school
When they went it alone
They don’t pay what they owe
Losin’ her looks over company books
When they have the cash flow
When she goes into town
In the wicked old days
And the hair with the roots
The quick little steps
In the stiletto boots
On the car
On a wing and a prayer
Don’t begrudge her the Merc
It’s been nothin’ but work and a hard life
Losin’ her looks over company books
