Doing the Wife's Hair

Husbands, raise your hands Keep them up if you love your wife Keep them up if you colour your wifes hair Okay, this is for the three of us that are left.... I did my wife a favour As I do, because I can I help her when I'm able Not just because I am a man I kill bugs when requested I do the laundry like I should I clean the bathroom when it's dirty And by doing so , feel good Every few weeks I will help her Hide the grey that she can see I don't volunteer to do it But it's cheap to hire me A salon visit is expensive Doing hair, and waiting hours I just slip on my latex hand wear And I have a bag full of super powers Yes, I help my wife get couloured I take the time and do her hair I also, get it on the tiles Up the wall and on two chairs The dog gets covered just a little The rug, a window and the bed But, we always buy two packets So, there's enough to do her head I have a jacket slightly mottled It's got a few brown spots, some red I don't know exactly how it happened I even got some on our bed Just call me Mr. Kenneth In my jumpsuit doing hair I get it where I think she needs it And I spray it everywhere She comes out looking gorgeous She's always happy with the result She always looks a little different Like someone who believes in the occult If you're a husband who likes money Save it, colour your wife's hair Your part only takes ten minutes You need ten towels, one mask, one chair It brings us both closer together My arms look like a leopard skin All my shirts are slightly spotted But all those spots, make me look thin I've got to go now and get cleaned up The carpets ruined, so's the wood But, she's happy and we all know that If the wife is happy....all is good!

When we were first together we didn't have a lot of money and yes I did help her make her hair blonder! Had the gloves. Not so messy as I'm sure you embellished, but very well for humor! Very well rhymed as well and a FAV for me!

once you work bathroom redecorating, it's a loss.
