Am
Don't bring the milk in
Am
Leave it on the porch
Am
Don't read the papers

Don't mow the lawn no more

Drive to the market
Am
At the break of dawn
Am
Watch 'em unload the produce
Am
Then ride right back home

It's the white man's burden

Am
Torment the mailman
Am
Terrorize the maid

Try to teach 'em some manners

Whip 'em into shape

Am
Show it to the children
Am
When they misbehave

I pay my taxes when I can

Load up the Winnebago
