She Gets Off From Work At Five
She Gets Off From Work at Five
By Elton Camp
Quitting time is still three hours away
I wish she didn’t have that long to stay
The breakfast she fixed is now long gone
And my stomach begins to growl & groan
All day, I had nothing but chips and beer
So I sure wish she’d hurry up and get here
I don’t want you to think that I’m a grouch,
But it gets so tiresome laying on the couch
Besides, my wife is a slob, both lazy and mean
She don’t keep stuff fixed and the house clean
It’s hard for me to keep out the blowing rain
Cause she won’t fixed the broken window pane
But I guess I’ll let her get by doing this way
Especially on Friday since that’s our payday
I hear they are now hiring late shift at the mills
She should take a second job to pay the bills
But she is gonna have to leave time between
Until to the cooking of my dinner she has seen
Then she can go to the mill and work a while
But when she gets home, I expect to see a smile
I don’t want to hear no more of that tired stuff
And how at work she has had it oh so tough
When I am in the mood for a little romance,
I don’t want to hear excuses or no song & dance
