about

Mike worked from 7am to 9pm everyday. Now in lockdown with 3 kids and his wife he finds the days seem even longer

lyrics

Mike’s used to the 7 to 9,
Long hours and hardly any family time,
Married, and with 3 boys,
Mike stayed away as much as he could,
Just to avoid the noise,
Mike was not a natural father,
His family, or his company he knew which he’d rather,

Now although Mike lives in a 6 bed pad,
It’s not enough space to save him from going mad,
With a wife he barely knows, and 3 kids following him wherever he goes,
And with the help all gone,
He hides in the bathroom, but for how long?

Mike’s wife calls through the bathroom door
Mike I can’t take it any more
If you can’t help me out,
Have no doubt you’ll be doing it all on your own

Mike opens the door a crack,
His wife hands him the kids who cry “Daddy, we’ve got you back!”
“Daddy, we’ve finally got you around!” they roar
