LESTER’S BREAKING EVEN

She liked coffee
He liked tea
They both liked sugar
Naturally
She liked boys
And he liked girls
They liked each other eventually

But everything changed
When the farmer took a wife
Now Lester’s breaking even
In the middle of his life

One for ma
One for pa
That’s the way it is
Yea, that’s the law
He gets weekends
She gets the rest
And the kids get to decide
Who they love best

But everything changed
When he came home early that night
Now Lester’s breaking even
In the middle of his life

Now he’s become sedated
Love was overrated
He kisses girls to make them cry
No more mr. nice guy

She liked coffee
He liked tea
That’s not the problem
Apparently

Now Lester’s breaking even
In the middle of his life
