Lyrics:
The scaffolder's wife Driving out of the yard With a face that's as hard As a scaffolder's bar - When she goes into town She might take the top down On the car. The quick little steps In the stiletto boots And the hair with the roots. She comes in as a rule To get the nails done And the tan for the sun When the kids are in school. Don't begrudge her the Merc It's been nothing but work And a hard life. Losing her looks Over company books - the scaffolder's wife. In the wicked old days When they went it alone Kept the company going On a wing and a prayer. They don't pay that they owe When they have the cash flow - they don't care Don't begrudge her the Merc It's been nothing but work And a hard life. Losing her looks Over company books - the scaffolder's wife.
