My response to the 80's phenomenon of the trophy wife.

lyrics

Rugged Rubber Lover
©1994 Mark Nelson


Well, I answered an ad in the classifieds that said is your love life shot?
The package came; I don't know what it is but I sure know what it's not.
So I took it out, and I plugged it in, and I filled it up with air.
She's my five foot two - and I made her with glue - electric love affair

Rugged Rubber Lover---Rugged Rubber Lover

Now every night I got a date with my silicon beauty queen
when we go to a dance we know all the steps, we fit in any kind of scene
She's sophisticated, suave, and always in style, the perfect executive wife
And I can play with my toys like all the rest of the boys
knowin' I got it made for life

Rugged Rubber Lover---Rugged Rubber Lover

One night she said "Boy, I've had it here with your Barbie Doll Playboy jive
And I've got better things to do than to wait for you
to treat me like I am alive.
So so long, au revoire, see ya later, sayonara, crying won't make me stay--
If you'll step aside, I'd like to catch my ride...I got a better offer any way"


Rugged Rubber Lover---Rugged Rubber Lover

And that was the end of my inflatable friend
I could chase her but I don't wanna
Last I heard she's doing well--singing backup for Madonna
