I’m a downtrodden wife his trouble and strife Is this my life? He doesn’t help with chores in between snores says “ask her indoors” The kids avoid him I fulfil their whims no point in asking him I don’t know why he married me? I could never be what he wanted me to be I’m never good enough he says I look rough so no more *** stuff I wanted to work but the chauvinistic **** wouldn’t allow this perk I can’t wait ‘till the kids are grown from this dysfunctional nest flown I’m building a nest egg of my own Then mummy can fly happily wave him goodbye no tears shall I cry but until then the youngest is ten I’ll keep secret my yen Eight more years feeding him beers listening to his jeers He’s such a hypocrite sanctimonious *** for any occasion a face that will fit People think he’s a good man doing what he can for poor miserable Ann Ann’s biding her time secret ***** and lime behind his back a naughty mime

Is This My Life?
I’m a downtrodden wife his trouble and strife Is this my life? He doesn’t help with chores in between snores says “ask her indoors” The kids avoid him I fulfil their whims no point in asking him I don’t know why he married me? I could never be what he wanted me to be I’m never good enough he says I look rough so no more *** stuff I wanted to work but the chauvinistic **** wouldn’t allow this perk I can’t wait ‘till the kids are grown from this dysfunctional nest flown I’m building a nest egg of my own Then mummy can fly happily wave him goodbye no tears shall I cry but until then the youngest is ten I’ll keep secret my yen Eight more years feeding him beers listening to his jeers He’s such a hypocrite sanctimonious *** for any occasion a face that will fit People think he’s a good man doing what he can for poor miserable Ann Ann’s biding her time secret ***** and lime behind his back a naughty mime
