lyrics

Going to these shows has been setting me back
Along with keeping the kids on track
And my wife is expensive, needless to say
Gotta earn enough to cover all the bills that I gotta pay

But you can take a vacation at the drop of a hat
Even if you gotta kinda be stealthy with that
It's crossing all the I's and dotting all the T's
And when the girls take their shirts off, take pictures in threes

My cost benefit outweighs conceivable loss
That's what's good about being the boss

Life 'round the house can sure get tense
but I'm a master of factoring in at my own expense
Generally things will go quite dandy when the whizzinator comes in handy

Ten grand red line on the LLC of a DBA between all y'all and me
Working out the wrinkles, smoothing the face
Trying my best to secure my place

Well sometimes it's time to have big fun
and I'm as big a fan of that as anyone
But sometimes it's time for putting shoulder to the wheel
And to sublimate all of those things that you really feel

My cost benefit outweighs conceivable loss
That's what's good about being the boss
