Hey, Hey Helen

Helen was bored with her husband. He was
an executive and they had a lot of money
and a nice house and everything they could
ever want. Helen took the children and left.

She had a cute apartment and sent her kids
to school. She hung out with new friends
but these friends had wild parties and she
did the things they did and she was scared.

Hey, hey Helen, Now you live on your own.
She realized she had a good life with her husband
She didn't have to work. This new life of noisy
neighbors and wild parties wasn't her scene.

Hey, hey Helen Can you make it alone? Don't
you know what to do? Her husband called her.
The kids were lonely and going to charity balls
and those trips to Paris don't seem so boring now.

Helen went back to her husband. She liked her
boring life after all. No wild parties or bikers,
she was home. It was quiet and boring but it sure
beat the jungle she had tried for a few months.
