Catching Up With The Petries - RPM 11

Rob and Laura

Lyrics:
Skip ahead to her in pants,
watch her dance in the living room
in front of all the other dinner guests.
She thumbs her nose at simulacra,
but someone must play Cleopatra
in the PTA’s yearly drama fest.

Her husband broke his body skiing.
Still he loves with all his being.
He’s a prim and proper gentleman.
Broke into his boss’ office,
came home counting all his losses
and tripped over that goddamn ottoman.

The censors must request
you sleep in separate beds:
your style of romance
is far too advanced.

The army must have taught them well:
they set up life in New Rochelle,
bought a house and they made a son.
Have fun at work and laughs at home,
they never have to be alone.
The only thing’s that goddamn ottoman.
Can’t we sell this goddamn ottoman?
Just walk around the goddamn ottoman.
