Dine, shine, you\'re mine... I\'ll put it all on the line
Feasted them with a swine, instilled gratitude over their recurrent whine
When they were born, one indulgence shoved off the menu - wine
One after another sacrifice in order for them to tow the line
She was once embellished in her own hopes and dreams,
But capitulated to the universal solvent of circumstance
Left the purple patch, all she does now is make them smile
Made it cosy and snug like reeds down river Nile
She said, I\'ll catch you before you fall
And if predators confront , I\'ll shove them into the gallotine
Because no dream beats your happiness and the whites of your innocent smile...
