His going in the Army

Is the best thing he could do
Now you're free to start to do
What you wanted to
Albeit, Albert, A-A-A-Albert!
I remember how you told me

I should trust you for a year
It would just be for a year
But it's eight years, Albeit!
Eight long years, Albeit!

Rosie, it takes time
To build a business.
You were going to college
And get ahead

Instead of being

A music business bum
You were going to NYU
And become an English teacher
An English teacher
An English teacher.
If only you'd been

An English teacher
We'd have a little apartment
In Queens

You'd get a summer vacation
And we would know
What life means
A man who's got his masters
ls really someone

How proud I'd be
If you had become one
I could have been Mrs. Peterson
Mrs. Albert Peterson

Mrs. Phi Beta Kappa Peterson
The English teachefs wife
It was goodbye
Geoffrey Chaucer

Hello William Morris
Goodbye NYU,
Hello Almaelou

'Cause when you wrote

Conrad's first hit
Ugga-bugga-boo
Then I knew that was it
An English teacher
ls really someone
How proud I'd be

If you had become one
It could have been
Such a wonderful life
I could have been Mrs. Peterson
Mrs. Albert Peterson

Mrs. Phi Beta Kappa Peterson
The English teachefs wife!
