Presents for Mrs. Rogers

Lyrics

We've been through so much together
 Dark, torrential weather
 We've managed to muddle
 Through every muddy puddle
 Old Saul would never shine
 Still, you kept your hand in mine
 Now comes the sun
 Why run?
 Oh, stick with me baby, let's kick up our heels
 Taste the best of it, sniff the zest of it, feel how luxury feels
 Take the fruits of our labors and splurge to the hilt
 We deserve to be blooming before we must wilt
 Where's the gold in the good life if you're knee deep in guilt?
 Listen, honey
 It's only money
 Diamonds for Mrs. Rogers
 They shine so bright, like the light in your eyes
 Rubies for Mrs. Rogers
 Not like the rhinestones you once got from other guys
 Sapphires, so blue and brilliant
 They all combine to make your gems red, white and blue
 With all the jewels above
 I'm saluting our love
 I'm true blue to the flag and true to you
 Em'ralds for Mrs. Rogers (Em'ralds)
 Cuz I turn green when you don't look my way
 Topaz, not quite so precious (Topaz)
 Perhaps Madame could wear them on some rainy day
 (On some rainy day)
 (Pearls) Peals for Mrs. Rogers (for Mrs. Rogers)
 To grace the neckline of the queen who rules my heart
 Where, as the jewels above
 You were fashioned for love
 You are nature's perfect living work of art
 ♪
 Diamonds (Diamonds) for Mrs. Rogers (for Mrs. Rogers)
 They seem so dim when compared to your eyes
 (They seem so dim when compared to your eyes)
 Topaz (Topaz) and precious em'ralds (And precious em'ralds)
 And rubies red and sapphires blue and just your size
 (Rubies red and sapphires blue and pearls)
 Pearls for Mrs. Rogers (for Mrs. Rogers)
 These are necessities no wife of mine should lack
 If you will have nothing of
 All these proofs of my love
 I'll throw them in a sack and take them back
