 POSIES - Mrs. Green Lyrics

!20p82317r9298npp8k

!20p82317r9298npp8k
Miserable Mrs. Green sit by yourself and think awhile
!20p82317r9298npp8k
Of all that once could have been instead of what is now
!20p82317r9298npp8k
How does it even feel, you're no longer Madame Butterfly
!20p82317r9298npp8k
Yesterday operas have quickly passed you by
!20p82317r9298npp8k

!20p82317r9298npp8k
[Chorus]
!20p82317r9298npp8k
Mrs. Green, you're older but you're really no more cleaver
!20p82317r9298npp8k
Things that you were thinking I am thinking I will never think at all
!20p82317r9298npp8k

!20p82317r9298npp8k
Volumes of photographs held in your Einsenhower hands
!20p82317r9298npp8k
Newer world intellect could never understand
!20p82317r9298npp8k
You tore yourself apart all for the neighborhood and kids
!20p82317r9298npp8k
And never forgave yourself for acting as you did
!20p82317r9298npp8k

!20p82317r9298npp8k
[Chorus]
!20p82317r9298npp8k

!20p82317r9298npp8k
Where is your family and why did they lock you up inside
!20p82317r9298npp8k
And what will they talk about after you have died
!20p82317r9298npp8k
Who scared the birds away by lining the nest with demands
!20p82317r9298npp8k
And using the iron first but not a helping hand
!20p82317r9298npp8k

!20p82317r9298npp8k
[Chorus]
!20p82317r9298npp8k

!20p82317r9298npp8k
Mrs. Green I know you're not as happy as you can be
!20p82317r9298npp8k
As you watch my new leaf turn, you're turning green with envy over me
!20p82317r9298npp8k
