Candidate's Wife's Rag Songtext

Oh, the campaign trail is dreary from Lake Tahoe to Lake Erie and the days are long and weary still I?m perky, warm, cheery Clearly it?s no easy kind of life Oh, it?s hard to be the candidate?s wife I tell you Woman's World did a piece on me about how I raise my family says oh how she slaves while he's kissing the hands shaking the babes Time, Newsweek, People and Life want to know about the candidate's wife Someone in the press said the wives of politicians are anti-feminist Words like that they really make me wish I had a comment that my husband would approve Keep smiling story of my life It?s hard to be the candidate?s wife Hail to the Chief and the man who stands beside her It's tough but I can take it after all I've seen him naked But I'm still his biggest fan stand by my man when his rhetoric's so thick you need a knife I can cut through it. I'm the candidate's wife You get four to eight, but I get life It's hard to be the candidate's I hope that you appreciate that it's hard to be the candidate's wife
