Wake Up Baby

about

One for the ladies.

lyrics

Wake Up baby it’s a quarter to eleven
I know you only got to bed at seven
it’s true what they say, that a woman’s work is never done

I don’t like to wake you but the baby’s getting smelly,
you know I’d do it for you but the rugby’s on the telly
but after that you can take it easy for the rest of the day.

The dishes need doing and the cat’s thrown up in the corner;
I wouldn’t mind a cuppa if you’re coming through the kitchen again
…oh by the way…

I could use a little lunch if you think you could be bothered
just a little something, don’t you go to any trouble
but after that you can take it easy for the rest of the day

Wasn’t that funny last night when the car broke down on the way home
My back was playing up again, you had to change the tyre in the rain

There’s a little bit of cleaning up to do around the shower
I’ve got to watch the All Blacks for at least another hour
God I’ll be glad when the rugby season is over

So I don’t mind if you rest a little longer
shift that piano when you feel a little stronger
and after that you can take it easy for the rest of the day
and maybe put your feet up
after that you can take it easy for the rest of the day.
