I put in forty plus hours just like him

In the dog-eat-dog, in the sink or swim

I believe in equal work, equal pay

And that shouldn't end at the end of the day



But when I get home there's so much to do

Like watering plants, feeding the cat

And I'm pretty sure he can see it too

So how come it's up to me?



Well if I don't do it, he won't do it and it won't get done

If I don't do it, he won't do it and it won't get done



It's not like he's lazy, we've divided the chores

I do the bathrooms, he does the floors

I wash the dishes, I make the bed

I buy the groceries, and I get him fed



It's the little things that count they say

Like a tee-shirt here, a coffee cup there

Just how d'you s'pose they get put away

You think they get up and walk?



Well if I don't do it, he won't do it and it won't get done

If I don't do it, he won't do it and it won't get done



I beg, I plead, I tell him twice

I threaten him, I even ask him nice

And if he gets tired of hearing me nag

Guess who's gonna have to pack his bag



Well if I don't do it, he won't do it and it won't get done

If I don't do it, he won't do it and it won't get done
