Note: This song was written for my beloved wife, Dawn, who makes the Cameo Rose Victorian Country Inn bed and breakfast near Madison, Wisconsin home to me and 1000's of guests. Sing to the tune of "I Walk The Line".
I DO THE TIME by Gary Bahr
She wants a big house for a B and B.
I want a cabin… and to see the sea.
I made up plans… now do not be surprised.
Because she’s mine… “we” compromised!
Lent her a million for her BnB.
"If I help"...she says she can repay me.
Now do it all... no payments do I see.
Because she's mine... I work for free!
I do the dirty dishes all the time.
I scrub the tubs and showers and de-lime.
I keep my eyes wide open for the grime.
Because she’s mine… I tow the line.
I mow the trails from morning until night.
Avoiding cleaning makes it a real delight.
I sweep the walk and porch with all my might.
Because she’s mine… I do not fight.
I greet the guests with smiles that are sublime.
I clean the toilets and what guests leave behind.
I mop the floors and work and do not whine.
Because she’s mine… not paid a dime.
I do the make-work that she thinks is fine.
I’ll do it all until I’m ninety-nine.
I do the work, although I did no crime.
Because she’s mine… I do the time!
