AKA...TIME OFF!

I didn't do my hair or put on a dress

Showed up for dinner looking like a mess

Mom opened her door, asked...what is this

I said nothing that a little time off won't fix

I don't remember what sleeping is

And no one wanted to watch the kids

They called them monsters and spoiled brats

Who wants to deal with the likes of that

Oh, I called their Dad, and he came this time

Brought reinforcement in his child bride

Yeah, she had the nerve to look like a doll

You're lucky that I showed up at all

~~~*1st Chorus*~~~

My kids are a blessing

But no downhill coast

I'm a cook and a maid

A chauffeur and coach

A teacher and a doctor

Full time referee

A guidance counselor

Do it all for free

It's rough at the bottom

With so much on top

Lord I need a break

AKA

TIME OFF!

~~*~~

Now you know why my hair's not fixed

Your blind date dinner wasn't on my list

He might as well meet me... just like I am

If it's not good enough...then he's not my man

Don't blame the situation on my kids

It wasn't anything, that they ever did

You think their Dad got tired of being last

Well his new model...won't wear out so fast

Hey, he's the reason it gets this bad

I shouldn't have to be the Mom and Dad

The only help, from him, I've ever asked

Is to be a man, and pick up the slack 

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~

My kids are a blessing

But no downhill coast

I'm a cook and a maid

A chauffeur and coach

A teacher and a doctor

Full time referee

A guidance counselor

Do it all for free

It's rough at the bottom

With so much on top

Wanna give me a break

AKA

TIME OFF!

~~*~~

I really have to hand it to my Mom

He's a pediatrician, and a chef for fun

I called the ex, and told him life is sweet

And that I'd be home in about two weeks



~~~*3rd Chorus*~~~

Your kids are a blessing

But no downhill coast

You're a cook and a maid

A chauffeur and coach

A teacher and a doctor

Full time referee

A guidance counselor

Baby now you're me

It's rough at the bottom

With so much on top

I'm taking a break

AKA

TIME OFF!
