Mr. Mom

(Richie McDonald/Ron Harbin/Don Pfrimmer)



Lost my job, came home mad

Got a hug and kiss and that's too bad

She said, ''I can go to work until you find another job.''

I thought I like the sound of that

Watch TV and take long naps

Go from a hard working dad to being Mr. Mom.



Well, Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer

Crayons go up one drawer higher

Rewind Barney for the fifteenth time

Breakfast six, naps at nine

There's bubble gum in the baby's hair

Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair

Been crazy all day long and it's only Monday

Mr. Mom.



Football, soccer and ballet

Squeeze in scouts and P.T.A.

And there's that shopping list she left

That's seven pages long

How much smoke can one stove make

The kids won't eat my charcoal cake

It's more than any man can take

Being Mr. Mom.



Well, Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer

Crayons go up one drawer higher

Rewind Barney for the sixteenth time

Breakfast six, naps at nine

There's bubble gum in the baby's hair

Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair

Been crazy all day long and it's only Monday

Mr. Mom.



--- Instrumental ---



Before I fall in bed tonight

If the dog didn't eat the classifieds

I'm gonna look just one more time.



'Cause, Pampers melt in a Maytag dryer

Crayons go up one drawer higher

Rewind Barney for the eighteenth time

Breakfast six, naps at nine

There's bubble gum in the baby's hair

Sweet potatoes in my lazy chair

Been crazy all day long

Oh, been crazy all day long, oh, and it's only Monday

Mr. Mom.



Ooh Mr. Mom.



Balance the checkbooks, juggling bills

Thought there was nothing to it

Baby, now I know how you feel

What I don't know is how you do it.

Oh!



(Spoken)

Honey you're my hero!...
