Lyrics

[Intro]
I know Seymour's the greatest
But I'm dating a semi-sadist
So I've got a black eye, and my arm's in a cast
Still, that Seymour's a cutie
Well, if not, he's got inner beauty
And I dream of a place where we could be together at last
[Verse 1]
A matchbox of our own
A fence of real chain link
A grill out on the patio
Disposal in the sink
A washer and a dryer and an ironing machine
In a tract house that we share
Somewhere that's green
[Verse 2]
He rakes and trims the grass
He loves to mow and weed
I cook like Betty Crocker
And I look like Donna Reed
There's plastic on the furniture
To keep it neat and clean
In the Pine-Sol scented air
Somewhere that's green
[Bridge]
Between our frozen dinner
And our bed-time, 9:15
We snuggle watching Lucy
On our big, enormous twelve-inch screen
[Verse 3]
I'm his December bride
He's Father, he knows best
The kids play Howdy Doody
As the sun sets in the west
A picture out of Better Homes and Gardens Magazine
Far from Skid Row
I dream we'll go
Somewhere that's green
