Lyrics

Don’t feed Ginger in the morning
A timer dumps her chow at three
Power mower’s in the tool shed
Under the red stone there’s a key

You’re the man of the house now
I’m a disgraceful has-been
You’re going to restore brightness
I darkened the corners with sin

Jen and Pat are fussy eaters
Won’t eat hot dogs, won’t eat grapes
Limit their screen time to three hours
Gotta keep those kids in shape

You’re the man of the house now
I’m just a kook in the den
They’ll address you as father
What an example I’ve been

You’ll have what I once had
A dog and a wife and two kids
I took a syringe offer
I slipped up then I slid

You’re the man of the house now
I’m a disgraceful has-been
You’re going to restore brightness
Such an example I’ve been

You’ll have what I once had
A dog and a wife and two kids
I took a syringe offer
I slipped up then I slid

Don’t feed Ginger in the morning
A timer dumps her chow at three
