When I was young man I worked on my own You had the big chore Of makin' a home Now that I'm the keeper Of all that was yours I'm head of the family And I'm boss of the chores Living without you Is a chore on its own I understand what all you did Now that you are gone Sometimes it sprinkles Sometimes it bores When you're head of the family And you're boss of the chores When I lost you, darlin' The kids lost a mom Now it's me and the children And there's work to be done Look out for the babies And I scrub all the floors Cause I'm head of the family And I'm boss of the chores Living without you Is a chore on its own I understand what all you did Now that you are gone Sometimes it sprinkles Sometimes it bores When you're head of the family And you're boss of the chores Sometimes it sprinkles And sometimes it bores When you're head of the family And you're boss of the chores
