letra de mrs. dees' rant - sting
mrs. dees:
when i was a maiden truly
such dreams would fill my head
i thought i’d marry a goodly man
to keep me warm in bed
a goodly man, a shapely man of n0ble heart and true
instead i married a shipyard man and now the rent is always overdue
mrs. dees and women:
i thought i’d marry the parson
mrs. dees:
to help me say my prayers
mrs. dees and women:
and once i got up off my knees
mrs. dees:
he’d chase me up the stairs
mrs. dees and women:
or i thought i’d marry the butcher’s lad
mrs. dees:
to bring me sunday’s meat
mrs. dees and women:
but instead i married a shipyard man
mrs. dees:
sometimes a girl just has to eat
i might have wed the baker’s boy
we’d make a house of bread
we wouldn’t lack for yeast or flour
to keep our hungry passions fed
i might have married a doctor, he’d give me penicillin
and every time he smiled at me i’d show him i was willin’
mrs. dees & women:
a goodly man, a shapely man
selfless, kind, and wise
an honest man, a paragon
who’d never tell me lies
no wolf in shepherd’s clothing
no master of disguise
so why did i marry a shipyard man?
mrs. dees:
he should have picked on someone his size
oh i could have wed a collier man
mrs. dees & women:
he’d keep a lassie fit
mrs. dees:
whenever it was cold outside
mrs. dees & women:
we’d keep those fires lit
mrs. dees:
or i might’ve married a millionaire
mrs. dees & women:
he’d know what i would like
instead i married a shipyard man
mrs. dees:
and he’s always out on strike
yet all the times you’ve said you’re through
when both your eyes are black and blue
and though we wish it wasn’t true
before we get to say amen or
calm our nerves and count to ten
it really is beyond our ken
despite it all
mrs. dees and women:
we love our shipyard men
