You take like, me an' my wife 
We got about four kids 
Found the next door neighbor, an' she says, 
"Look-a-here, let's get together one night, 
An' go out an' have a ball, let the husbands baby-sit, 
How 'bout that?" 
Can ya dig it fellas? 
She come after me, she says, "Honey, we wanna go out tonight, and have a ball" 
I said, "Sure, it's alright, just as long as you be home by two" 
I let's her go ahead on out, an' I'm baby sittin', 
Kids hollerin' an' cryin', 
I had to put diapers, change diapers 
Two o'clock come, no wife 
I said well, that's alright she probably went 'bout four or five miles out-a the city limit 
I give her about thirty minutes to get home 
Can ya dig it fellas? 
Three o'clock come, still no wife 
Four o'clock, sure was mad, now 
Here she come, draggin' in 
Now can ya dig this fellas? 
Now here the way she talk to me, real sweet 
She sounded good, ya know 
Kissin' me all on the neck an' goin' on 
Felt good, but I'm still mad! 
Now after she done all that sweet talk, 
You know what I told her, fellas? 
You know what I told her? 
You don't know what I told her? 
An' I fool around an' made her mad, you know what would happen? 
You know what she told me, fellas? 
Now I told her the same thing 
[Let's ride this thing outta trouble] (yeah) 
Well this woman is puttin' me out 
How 'bout that?
