Camille West - Candidate's Wife's Rag lyrics

Oh, the campaign trail is dreary

from Lake Tahoe to Lake Erie

and the days are long and weary

still I’m perky, warm, cheery

Clearly it’s no easy kind of life

Oh, it’s hard to be the candidate’s wife

I tell you

Woman's World did a piece on me

about how I raise my family

says oh how she slaves

while he's kissing the hands

shaking the babes

Time, Newsweek, People and Life

want to know about the candidate's wife

Someone in the press said the wives of politicians

are anti-feminist

Words like that they really make me

wish I had a comment that my husband would approve

Keep smiling

story of my life

It’s hard to be the candidate’s wife
