Lyrics
So fine, Rebecca Moses,
17 years since she threw her leather jacket away
She's got 17 recipes,
Makes cream of mushroom taste like a French soufflÈ
She speaks up at the P.T.A.,
She runs her errands every day
Can't teach her kids with a straight face
CHORUS: No caffeine drugs or cigarettes,
Don't fight sit straight and be polite guest
And when it comes to candy, strangers have the best.
Don't mind Rebecca Moses, A little off center,
Is that what's keeping her sane
She's got 17 magazines
Telling her how to read into her husband's brain
Flirts with the mailman for a thrill,
Sells Tupperware to pay some bills
She just smiles while she's taking the pill CHORUS
BRIDGE: You know she's not a bad girl,
It's just a clash of two worlds
A victim of a hard youth,
She's finding fault in the truth CHORUS
