I Can Do That

I Can Do That - Tommy Collins Wanda Collins

I was talkin' to my bride

To be to see what

She expects of me

It's wise to talk it

Out before you sign

The dotted line

I told her just to ask

Me plain to come right

Out with pertinent things

She begin and started

Out just fine

Can you keep food

On the table

Yes I can

Can you fix a broken washer

You bet I can

Can you cheer me when

I'm lonely love me and me only

Yes dear I can do that

Can you help me

With the dishes

Just count on me

Can you give me

Hugs and kisses

Oh yeah

Can you hush a cryin' baby

And change a diaper maybe

Yes dear I can do that

So far she'd acted

Mighty fair I'd dried

The dishes I don't care

It's only right that

Every man should help

Out when he can

I think we should be

Democratic create peace

And cut down static

I believe in doin'

What I can

Can mother move

In with us

Oh I guess so

And my brothers

And my sisters

Well okay

One thing in addition

You must cut out your fishin'

Cut out my fishin' no dear

I can't do that

I'll make a livin' with

A grin and do repairs

Like all good men

Cheer you when you're

Lonely and love only you

I'll do the rest if you're

My wife but I've been

A fisherman all my life

And give it up my dear

I just can't do

Some husband you'd make

With your scaly fish and

Your smelly bait

You'd be gone and I'd be

Home and I'd always wish

I'd married a sensible man

Why a fisherman's widow

I'd be well I've spoken

My piece and you have to

Let's decide now what

We're gonna do you insist

On fishin' that's plain to see

And I suppose you can

Do without me

Yes dear I can do that
