Well,
I worked like a dog
for several years
at different jobs
C 
Never did get used to

D 
But that was back before a woman
needed something more
Than keeping house,

having kids to make it real
Now I start my day
right at the crack of noon
C 
I lay there in the bed and thum
C

Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm
My buddies laughed at me
the day I set my honey free
C 
To get her all the liberation she can grab
D 
At first it hurt my pride,

She's holding down the job I used to have
I admire a man who's strong enough to stand and
C 
say that he won't play a role to please society
