The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 Spinnin' Around
Tell Me What's So Great About Picket Fences
Paintin' Them's Such a Mess
And a Big Back Yard 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
And If I Go to Sleep At Night I Always Go Alone
I Guess That I Could Have It All and Someone By My Side
But I Can't Take the Give and Take the Price Is Just Too High
Tell Me What's So Great About Picket Fences
Paintin' Them's Such a Mess
And a Big Back Yard 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
Tell Me What's So Great About Picket Fences
I Guess I'll Never Know
