Mary is an intern at a fortune 500
Spending Saturdays dancing to Elvis Presley
Her husband stays home and watches T.V.
She tells him to get up but he just plays the doubler
Mary is an intern and her husband is a schmuck
She gave him a chance, but he just gives it up
She stares him down as he puts on a frown
She gave him a chance but he’s all out of luck
Now Mary’s saying how far we’ve fallen
From that apartment way up in Vermont
She says why can’t you just be like the others
He says whatever Mary I’ve had enough of this
Mary is an intern and her husband is a schmuck
She gave him a chance, but he just gives it up
There’s no surprise that all she gets are lies
She gave him a chance but he’s all out of luck
So Mary says exactly what is left is for us to accept the fact
That this was doomed from the start
That is, unless you can do your part from now on
Mary is an intern and her husband is a schmuck
She gave him a chance, but he just gives it up
There’s no reply, he’s out the door, says goodbye
She gave him a chance but he’s all out of luck
