Better Watch It, Fellow

Better Watch It Fellow By Elton Camp Arnold, in his house, thinks he’s a king Respect for his wife doesn’t mean a thing In his eyes, nothing that she does is right The way he condemns and orders is a fright If Arnie’s supper isn’t ready exactly on time He’ll curse and call her a lazy ball of slime If, in the house, he finds just a speck of dust It’s, “To lay and sleep all day you surely must.” His wife has put up with his ways many a year So Arnie has decided that he has naught to fear He seems to think that it makes him a big man To demean, abuse and insult her all that he can Beatrice got enough of it and to act she did dare Arnie slept and she damaged him beyond repair
