Billboard hit records. The original members were Dave Somerville(lead), Ted Kowalski (tenor), Phil Levitt (baritone), and Bill Reed

Hits (MGW 12178).

The car won't start,
it's falling apart
I was late for work and the boss got smart
My panty line shows, got a run in my hose
My hair went flat, man, I hate that
Just when I thought things couldn't get worse
I realized I forgot my purse
With all this stress, I must confess
This could be worse than PMS
This job ain't worth
the pay
Can't wait 'til the end of the day
Honey, I'm on my way
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Honey, I'm home and I
had a hard day
Pour me a cold one and oh, by the way
Rub my feet, gimme something to eat
Fix me up my favorite treat
Honey, I'm back, my head's killing me
I need to relax and watch TV
Get off the phone, give the dog a bone
Hey, hey, honey, I'm home
I broke a nail
opening the mail
I cursed out loud 'cause it hurt like hell
This job's a pain, it's so mundane
It sure don't stimulate my brain
This job ain't worth
the pay
Can't wait 'til the end of the day
Honey, I'm on my way
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Honey, I'm home and I
had a hard day
Pour me a cold one and oh, by the way
Rub my feet, gimme something to eat
Fix me up my favorite treat
Honey, I'm back, my head's killing me
I need to relax and watch TV
Get off the phone, give the dog a bone
Hey, hey, honey, I'm home
Oh, rub my neck will
you
Honey, I'm home and I
had a hard day
Pour me a cold one and oh, by the way
Rub my feet, gimme something to eat
Fix me up my favorite treat
Honey, I'm back, my head's killing me
I need to relax and watch TV
Get off the phone, give the dog a bone
Hey, hey, honey, I'm home
I'm home, that feels much better!!
