Darling wife, my darling wife Won't you stay awake another life Our kids have grown, they've left our home They are doing fairly well out on their own Don't work too hard My darling wife Do you recall our citadel The chlorephyllic wedding bells We sailed in spite of the putrid gales To the land where we were free to fail
We hid our scars 'neath mid-priced cars We fed our foes a feeble flower We worked our grimace into a glower When we were young birds Red white and blue birds Red white and blue birds No don't forget the yellow birds Darling, wife Do not close your eyes Darling, wife
