Stand up sit down,
I do everything you tell me to do.
Do the dishes,mow the lawn,
Don't stop there cause you're not done.
Take out the trash,clean the house,
Make sure we don't have a mouse.
The car needs all the fluids checked,
Have you payed the bills.
Where is my dinner tonight,
Bring me some headache pills.
Sweep and mop the floors,
Dust all the stands too.
Run the water for my bath,
Lay out my clothes too.
Where is the newspaper,and the mail,
Why isn't the laundry done.
When were you going to catch on,
That this is all part of our home.
I have a job,
I work all day.
And you just lay around,
And do nothing anyway.
I try to make you see that to be with me,
You need to do as I say.
We can not go on like this,
If you want to be my wife.
You will have to lose some weight,
If you want me to take you out tonight.
My friends are more important to me,
Than being here with you.
So don't try to stop me ,
From doing what I do.
If I want to go fishing,
And be gone all night.
And don't call to check up on me,
Cause you won't find me there.
Remember just one more thing,
Before you go to bed.
Rub my back and my feet,
So I can go to sleep.
