He's plain and he's simple as any man I ever saw He's got a yearning to be my new husband-in-law He's courting and cavorting my favorite ex-wife He's taken the worry right out of my life The kids say he's boring but nice as can be He may not be just right for her, but he's perfect for me He don't bruise my ego like some of the lovers she's had It doesn't bother me that he's almost as old as her dad He's got the means to support her in style There won't be no beans on her stove for a while The kids say he's boring but nice as can be He may not be just right for her, but he's perfect for me You know he could lose her if he don't keep fanning the flame I've started sending her flowers and signing his name He's a little bit settled and set in his ways He remembers the game, he's forgotten the plays The kids say he's boring but nice as can be He may not be just right for her, but he's perfect for me
