[Intro]
E E E2
E E E2
E E E2
E E E2
[Chorus 1]
E A G
I'm a stay-at-home dad, I'm on paternity leave
E A G
I'm a stay-at-home dad, it's just my baby and me
E A G
I'm a stay-at-home dad, while my wife's at work
E A G A
I've got a bottle in my hand and spit up on my shirt
[Verse 1]
E E E2
Baby wakes me up around 5 am
E E E2
Kicking and screaming until his face turns red
E E E2
He usually tends to calm down once he's fed
E E E2
So I give him his bottle, my wife gets out of bed
E E E2
Cook my wife breakfast while she's getting ready
E E E2
O-oh, o-oh, someone's diaper is smelly
E E E2
O-oh, o-oh, it leaked all over his belly
E E E2
O-oh, o-oh, it looks like mustard and jelly
E E E2
Kiss my wife goodbye while I clean up his bum bum
E E E2
It's time for his bath, this is gonna be fun fun
E E E2
I try not to get soap in his eyes
E E E2
He really doesn't like it, it makes him cry
E E E2
But if he cries to make him stop, I've got a trick
E E E2
I make funny noises with my mouth like this
E E E2
Brr brr brr, ga ga goo goo ga ga ga
E E E2
Then we play pick-a-boo, it makes him laugh
[Chorus 2]
E A G
I'm a stay-at-home dad, it's a full time job
E A G
I'm a stay-at-home dad, but I like it a lot
E A G
I'm a stay-at-home dad, during his afternoon nap
E A G
I watch The Price Is Right and I make myself a snack
A
Cheese and crackers
[Verse 2]
E E E2
If I have errands to run, I take the van
E E E2
Strap him in his car seat and bring his baby bag
E E E2
I always make sure his seat's well strapped in
E E E2
My baby’s security is important
E E E2
Groceries, pay some bills, visit grandma
E E E2
But I gotta make sure to be back by 4 o'clock
E E E2
So I can prepare supper while I watch Oprah
E E E2
What should I make tonight, maybe some pasta
E E E2
And a Caesar salad, my wife will like that
E E E2
5 o'clock’s the time that she gets back
E E E2
She asks me how my day was, I say not bad
E E E2
It's all in a day's work as a stay-at-home dad
[Chorus 3]
E A G
I'm a stay-at-home dad, I don't take drugs
E A G
I'm a stay-at-home dad, I get high on baby hugs
E A G
I'm a stay-at-home dad, I like Winnie the Pooh
E A G
But my favourite Disney movie is the Lion King 2
A
I also like Ice Age
[Outro]
E
That's right I take care of my children
E
That's right I take care of my children
E
That's right I take care of my children
E
That's right I take care of my children
E
That's right I take care of my children
E
That's right I take care of my children
E
That's right I take care of my children
E
That's right I take care of my children
