I'm The Boss - Burl Ives

作词：Harlan Howard

作曲：Harlan Howard

Before a man marries

One thing he should get straight:

Who is the captain who

Is the first mate

Who mops standing up or

Who scrubs on his knees

A man's entitled to

Decisions like these

I'm the boss

(There's no doubt of it)

I'm the boss

(And he's proud of it)

I make the decisions and mine

Is the final one

Don't tell me how the

Dishes should be done

My woman and I we live

In tranquillity

Don't ask how to spell it

I'm not nobility

I say men are smarter

And my woman agrees

What I cook for supper

Should be up to me

I'm the boss

(There's no doubt of it)

I'm the boss

(And he's proud of it)

I make the decisions and

Mine is the final one

Don't tell me how the

Dishes should be done

Take my advice friend:

Stay in the driver's seat

You give her an inch

And you're doomed to defeat

Let her know you're the boss

Man can't live on his knees

Fold the baby's diapers

Any way that you please

I'm the boss

(There's no doubt of it)

I'm the boss

(And he's proud of it)

I make the decisions

And mine is the final one

Don't tell me how the

Dishes should be done
