Give me an "E". [singing] Lonesome Rhodes:
Well, good-bye, Mr. Luffler, and thanks for the ride... I'd like to have your money, but I'd rather have my pride. On this corny old commercial we just cannot agree... so you can tear up my contract... make a free man of me! Going to be... a free man in the morning... a free man in the morning... a free man in the morning... or know the reason why!

I bet a whole lot of you dream about that sometimes
00:00:03.502 --> 00:00:06.213
with all them breakfast dishes piling up in the sink
00:00:06.297 --> 00:00:08.841
and them cranky husbands to get off to work
00:00:08.924 --> 00:00:12.999

00:00:12.178 --> 00:00:15.389

00:00:15.473 --> 00:00:17.085
Well good bye dear I'm late for work
00:00:17.933 --> 00:00:20.186

but I never have seen a man yet
00:00:22.938 --> 00:00:25.232
could appreciate how hard you women has to work

Why they think running a little water over a dish is all there is to it
00:00:29.236 --> 00:00:31.697
They never see you cleaning the grease out of the sink
