I'm the Boss - Burl Ives
Before a man marries
One thing he should get straight:
Who is the captain who
Is the first mate
Who mops standing up or
Who scrubs on his knees
A man's entitled to
Decisions like these
I'm the boss
(There's no doubt of it)
I'm the boss
(And he's proud of it)
I make the decisions and mine
Is the final one
Don't tell me how the
Dishes should be done
My woman and I we live
In tranquillity
Don't ask how to spell it;
I'm not nobility
I say men are smarter
And my woman agrees
What I cook for supper
Should be up to me
I'm the boss
(There's no doubt of it)
I'm the boss
(And he's proud of it)
I make the decisions and
Mine is the final one
Don't tell me how the
Dishes should be done
Take my advice friend:
Stay in the driver's seat
You give her an inch
And you're doomed to defeat
Let her know you're the boss
Man can't live on his knees
Fold the baby's diapers
Any way that you please
I'm the boss
(There's no doubt of it)
I'm the boss
(And he's proud of it)
I make the decisions
And mine is the final one
Don't tell me how the
Dishes should be done
