Level 5/6 "He Thinks He'll Keep Her" (Song)

Here's a link to "He Thinks He'll Keep Her," by Mary Chapin Carpenter, the song we did in class on Friday.  The worksheet we did is below:







Fill in:  (present tense verbs)
She ______ his coffee, she ________ his bed
She _______ the laundry, she ______ him fed
When she was twenty-one she wore her mother's lace
She said "forever" with a smile upon her face
She ______ the car-pool, she PTAs
Doctors and dentists, she ________ all day
When she was twenty-nine she delivered number three
And every Christmas card showed a perfect family
Everything ______ right on time, years of practice and design
Spit and polish till it shines. He _______ he'll keep her
Everything _____ so benign, safest place you'll ever find
God forbid you _______ your mind. He thinks he'll keep her
She _________ his suitcase, she __________ and __________
With no expression upon her face
When she was thirty-six she met him at their door
She said I'm sorry, I don't love you anymore
Everything _________ right on time, years of practice and design
Spit and polish till it ________. He thinks he'll keep her
Everything _______ so benign, safest place you'll ever find
God forbid you change your mind. He ________ he'll keep her
For fifteen years she had a job and not one raise in pay
Now __________ in the typing pool at minimum wage
Everything ________ right on time, years of practice and design
Spit and polish till it __________. He ________ he'll keep her
Everything ______ so benign, safest place you'll ever find
At least until you _______ your mind. He _______ he'll keep her
