Pete, you can find these lyrics on my Facebook page. But here they are, anyway, for your followers:
NO, DEAR!
No, dear!
I refuse
I won’t clean this mess
Give it up, dear
Throwing shoes
Won’t make me say yes
She knows what I’m looking for
On a Friday night
If I dare put off this chore
She’ll put up a fight
No, dear!
I don’t care
If there’s trash about
Don’t insist, dear
Leave it there
I won’t take it out
No, dear!
Not right now
Our yard still looks great
Let it go, dear
And allow
Your old man to wait
She knows what I’m looking for
On a Friday night
If I do this one last chore
She’ll make things alright
Yes, dear!
Right away
I’ll run to the store
You can smile, dear
I won’t say
“No, dear!” anymore
