The Lyrics
Hey honey have you gained some weight in your rear-end?
That dress you wear reminds me of my old girlfriend
And where'd you get those shoes? I think they're pretty lame
Would you stop talking 'cause I'm trying to watch the game
If you're a man who wants to live a long and happy life
These are the things you don't say to your wife
I planned a hunting trip next week on your birthday
I didn't ask you 'cause I knew it'd be OK
Go make some dinner while I watch this fishing show
I taped it over our old wedding video
If you're a man who wants to live a long and happy life
These are the things you don't say to your wife
Your cooking is OK but not like mother makes
The diamond in the ring I bought you is a fake
Your eyes look puffy dear, are you feeling ill?
Happy anniversary I bought you a treadmill
If you're a man who wants to live a long and happy life
These are the things you don't say to your wife
If your a man who doesn't want to get killed with a knife
These are the things you don't say to your wife
That dress you wear reminds me of my old girlfriend
And where'd you get those shoes? I think they're pretty lame
Would you stop talking 'cause I'm trying to watch the game
If you're a man who wants to live a long and happy life
These are the things you don't say to your wife
I planned a hunting trip next week on your birthday
I didn't ask you 'cause I knew it'd be OK
Go make some dinner while I watch this fishing show
I taped it over our old wedding video
If you're a man who wants to live a long and happy life
These are the things you don't say to your wife
Your cooking is OK but not like mother makes
The diamond in the ring I bought you is a fake
Your eyes look puffy dear, are you feeling ill?
Happy anniversary I bought you a treadmill
If you're a man who wants to live a long and happy life
These are the things you don't say to your wife
If your a man who doesn't want to get killed with a knife
These are the things you don't say to your wife

Brilliantly funny and biting, Tim...too many fave lines to mention. My only niggle is the line "These are the things you don't say to your wife" doesn't scan with the original (I hope you have the time of your life)...maybe a better option would've been "These things you should not say to your wife". Other than that, this was fantastic. 555
What Kristof said. This is really good. Fave line: "Happy Anniversary I bought you a treadmill." Classic!
My fave of the day!! Hialrious!!!!

Remember that John Cougar Mellencamp mentioned: 'and there's a woman in the kitchen, cleaning up the evening slop - and he looks at her and says 'hey darling, I remember when you could stop a clock!'
