[intro]
doo+doo, doo+doo, doo+doo

[verse 1]
time has done its work
all she can do is play the fool
no one will hear her words
’cause they’re all living by the rules
a mother like all others
she’s bound to be a bore
a cat, a house, a husband
she shouldn’t ask for more

[verse 2]
her husband reads the paper
she’s staring at the clock
soon he will be leaving
he likes to go out for a walk
but will not take her with him
he says she walks too slow
and now and then a man
needs to be left alone

[pre+chorus]
by the by, would you agree to such a life?
[chorus]
by the by
did you sense the silent grief?
won’t somebody stop to see
will she survive?
will she break down while she’s hiding her needs?

[post+chorus]
there’s little left to like in life
there’s little left to like in life
doo+doo, doo+doo, doo+doo

[verse 3]
her children have their children
they don’t need her anymore
except for baby+sitting
then they’ll come bursting through the door
a granny and a housewife
a mother and a drudge
they wear her out, use her up
still, she bears no grudge

[pre+chorus]
by the by, would you agree to such a life?

[chorus]
by the by
did you sense the silent grief?
won’t somebody stop to see
will she survive?
will she break down while she’s hiding her needs?
[post+chorus]
there’s little left to like in life
there’s little left to like in life

[outro]
there’s little left to like in life
there’s little left to like in life
by the by
by the by
doo+doo, doo+doo, doo+doo
