	Story Behind the Song Such a dilema: balancing the traditions of being a housewife and mother while at the same time realizing you are a modern, emancipated Armenian-American woman. Oh the humanity!!! This song is guarenteed to tickle your funnybone. Lyrics Sit and relax my husband dear. Take off your shoes I'll get your can of beer. Turn on the TV and settle down. You won't have to lift a finger now that I'm around. I want to be your DONDIGEEN. I'll cook your meals and keep your SHABIKS clean. I want to be your DONDIGEEN. Each day my energy is spent; what joy to see him so content. Wake up the children at 6 a.m. Dress them, feed them, pack them lunch by 7:10. Make sure they all get to the bus on time. It's a grueling way to start the day but I don't mind. I want to be a DONDIGEEN. I like to see my family fed and clean. I want to be a DONDIGEEN. All though all day I'm kitchen bound my SARMAS are the best in town. Splinters in my hands from the rolling pin. Dirty diapers smelling up my laundry bin. Food-stained dishes, mud-stained floors, gossip with the nosey woman living next door. Tradition passed down 2 thousand years. DONDIGEENS have given blood, sweat and tears. Each Sunday morning while in church I pray: Oh dear Lord please give me strength to face another day. I'll always be a DONDIGEEN. I'll never get to wear designer jeans. I'll always be a DONDIGEEN. No use in trying to change my life. I'll always be a happy housewife.
