Good Woman

She was such a good woman
Scrubbed the kitchen Formica clean 
Never missed a day of work 
And, her foyer linoleum gleamed 

The kids were perfect angels
Tennis clubs and shopping enables her to 
Put the dinner on the table
Stare out the window and cry if she were able

Such a good woman
As she went down into the garage 
Such a good woman 
As she started up the family car
Such a good woman 
When she closed the windows and the doors
Such a good woman 
When the carbon monoxide gave her more 
Than the world could

They say she was a good woman
Count the flower arrangements here 
Isn't that the designer dress she bought last year? 
Oh, and did you sign the guest book Dear?

She was on the PTA
And, none of her children were gay, and
Her house was on American Way 
And, she never had a hair out of place, well,

Such a good woman
As she went down into the garage 
Such a good woman 
As she started up the family car
Such a good woman 
When she closed the windows and the doors
Such a good woman 
When the carbon monoxide gave her more 

Such a good woman 
Voted most likely to succeed
Such a good woman 
There was never anything that she would need 
Such a good woman 
Her husband worked hard nine to five, yea
Such a good woman 
But, will the world miss you?
I hope this life kissed you 
Goodbye
