(Shel Silverstein)

Well goodbye tubs and clothes lines goodbye pots and pans

I'm a gonna take a greyhound bus as further as I can

I ain't a gonna wash no windows and I ain't a gonna scrub no floors

And when you realize I'm gone I'm a gonna hear you roar

And you'll say hey Loretta I love you more than my Irish Setter

Hey Loretta don't leave me alone

Hey Loretta I swear I'm a gonna treat you better

Buy you brand new overalls if you'll only come back home



I work my fingers to the bone and we don't hardly speak

And all I ever get is just a little kiss about once a week

So you can feed the chickens and you can milk the cow

This a woman's liberation honey is a gonna start right now

And you'll say hey Loretta...



I'll dress up like a movie star and pretty up my hair

And no one here is a gonna know what I'll be doing there

I'll be swinging from a chandelier and bouncin' off the walls

Instead of lovin' just one man I'm a gonna love 'em all

And you'll say hey Loretta...
