Story Behind the Song
A tale about a guy being nice & sweet to his wife, but as it always goes there has got to be a reason.
Great song that will make you smile.
Lyrics
I'll Do The Dishes [The Boat Song]
Words & Music By: Skyler Allen & James Freeman
Verse 1
Well hello sweetheart, you're looking mighty pale,
Either you just seen my Uncle Mickey's ghost,
Or your day's been hell,
Tell me about it, while I rub your feet,
Na' ain't no special occasion just being sweet.
Chorus 1 & 2
Then I'll do the dishes, and I'll mow the lawn,
And that pile of dirty clothes on the floor will soon be gone,
I'll feed the children and I'll walk the dog,
And I'll mop the floor a time or two,
After all my chores are through,
I'm headed right over there, I'm gonna love you.
Verse 2
I picked you some flowers, I put 'em in this vase,
Then I cooked your favorite meal and baked a cake,
Wanna watch some T.V.? Here's the remote control,
Well I'm just in love with you and I want you to know.
REPEAT CHORUS
Bridge
And oh, Honey 'fore we kiss goodnight,
There's one thing that slipped my mind,
I took our savings and our house note,
And I bought a Boat.
Chorus 3
But I did the dishes and I mowed the lawn,
And that pile of dirty clothes on the floor, their washed and hung,
I fed the children and I walked the dog,
And I mopped the floor till it shines like new,
Is there thing else I can do,
And oh by the way, I love you.
