lyrics

She wears her reading glasses almost all the time
Got twenty pairs, like her mama, in all different kinds
I make the same kinds of sounds when I wake up as my old man
Looks like everything's going according to plan

I'm always bitchin' 'bout the goddamn news
She plays on ukuleles and kazoos
We still like to sing harmony and have fun in the sack
Looks like everything is right on track

Though we might not have the stamina, and
We might face new paramerters,
But that is neither here nor there
'Cause truth be told, we're too tired to care

She likes her coffee sweet, she loves her paperbacks
I like a baseball game, cold beer, and dumb wisecracks
She wears her reading glasses almost all the time
And I am just so proud, yeah I'm just so proud to call her mine
