Stop Being Lazy
Category: Poems

I threw a rag in the pail
Though I don't feel very well
I looked at you as it fell
And now you're in my way
Why can't you just wash out your dish
From last week's tuna fish?
I wasn't looking for this
But now you're in my way
My anger was growing
Ripped jeans
Gray hair showing
No sex for you tonight
Yeah you heard that right
Where you think you're going baby?
Hey I just fed you
And this is crazy
But here's a dish rag
Stop being lazy
It's hard to look right at you baby
But here's a dish rag
Stop being lazy
Hey I just fed you
And this is crazy
But here's a dish rag
Stop being lazy
I picked up all the other toys
And washed the baby
But here's a dish rag
Stop being lazy
You took your time with the call
As I vacuumed up the hall
You gave me no help at all
But still you're in my way
You act like it's not a big deal
When I tell you how I feel
I didn't think I could take it
But it's in my way
My anger was growing
Ripped jeans
Grey hair showing
No sex for you tonight
Yeah you heard me right
Where you think you're going baby?
Hey I just fed you
And this is crazy
But here's a dish rag
Stop being lazy
It's hard to look right at you baby
But here's a dish rag
Stop being lazy
Before you came into my life
And made me your wife
I had a skinny body
I slept in until 10:30
Before you came into my life
And made me your wife
And you should know that I think my butt's too fat
It's hard to look right at you baby
But here's a dish rag
Stop being lazy
Hey I just fed you
And this is crazy
But here's a dish rag
Stop being lazy
I picked up all the other toys
And washed the baby
But here's a dish rag
Stop being lazy
Before you came into my life
And made me your wife
I had a skinny body
And slept in until 10:30
Before you came into my life
And made me your wife
And you should know that
Stop being lazy
