Little boys and little girls dream of big big things
They're taught at a tender age just what life should bring
Get a job, say I do and settle yourself down
But what about those of us whose lives are still spinning around
Tell me what's so great about picket fences
Painting them is such a mess
And a big backyard where kids can play
I'd probably never get a moment's rest
And settin the table for five at five
Only means more dishes to load
What's so great about picket fences
I guess I'll never know
Here I am in my prime, at least they tell me so
