ONLY WEDNESDAY

I picked her up from Mom and Dad
Please be home before nine
And have a good time at the movies you two
We rode past white picketed lawns
Through golden city suburbs
To the place where only those who see gray can see

A small cinder block building on the
Corner people who leave there pretend
To go on just as they had before

"Miss, we're ready for you now"
The nurse turned down the hall
No pained expression, just a steady rhythm

Of heels click-clacking on the tiles
She paused to put away
Our file - we make forty two this week

CHORUS
Only Wednesday at the clinic
Thirty more before the week will finish
Only Wednesday at the clinic
Thirty more before the week will finish

I brought her home to Mom and Dad
"Of course we had a great time"
"Oh good," they said, "and next time if you can

The zoo is really beautiful
This time of year and you
Should try to go there if you get the chance.

CHORUS
