Get Out of These Shoes

It’s been a long day and it’s not over yet. What’s up next? Try not to fret. Cuz all I want to do is get out of these shoes! All I want to do is get out of these shoes! I walk through the door and what do I see? My starvin’ Marvin cat staring back at me. I hear my boys fighting My time, I’m just biding Before I walk more To see what’s in store A sink full of dishes What happened to my wishes? Cuz all I want to do is get out of these shoes! Yeah, all I want to do is get out of these shoes! Next thing I see, staring back at me My worn out man, holding out his hand As I approach his chair, He quietly shares, “We’re out - of - milk” Back to the car I go Only to discover the gas is low Out come my boys With a boisterous noise “Mommy, mommy, stay!” “We want to play!” “We missed you all day!” I look at their beaming smiles and what do I do? I join them inside and get out of my shoes! The milk can wait.
