Valerie was queen of the sweets
Different kinds all in a line
With heart shaped chocos in the window
For some passing valentine
Patron of the oldest school
With plenty of mouths to feed
She was just a little hard on the boy
Now Sheldon's nowhere to be seen
I bet you don't breathe easy
And now that he's gone
Because you sure don't
Sleep easy and knowing he's wrong
Good old valerie
Reluctantly shouldering arms
Says he'll be back before too long
She sent the poor boy packing
And mustered up a touch stone wave
And looking back over the years
I suppose it's a dead giveaway
She drove the same boy home to me
And said you know blood's thicker than water
You wouldn't think to look at her but man
She'll crush your spirits in a pestle and mortar
I bet you don't breathe easy
And now that he's gone
Because you sure don't
Sleep easy and knowing he's wrong
Good old valerie
Reluctantly shouldering arms
Says he'll be back before too long
He'll be back before too long
I bet you don't breathe easy
And now that he's gone
Because you sure don't
Sleep easy and knowing he's wrong
Good old valerie
Reluctantly shouldering arms
She says, he'll be back before too long
He'll be back before too long
He'll be back before too long
