Mmm, yeah
I'm not going to work today
I'm not going to work today
I know I won't get no pay but I'm not going to work today
Cause I was up all night with the baby
She was cryin' like crazy
But I thought that maybe I could stop her
If I would change her wet diaper
But it seems she wanted her her mother
Who was playin' asleep under the covers
So I walked the baby 'til it fell asleep and now I got achin' feet
You know my feet hurt yeah
Lord my feet hurt yeah

Well I've got a big son and a daughter
Who have no pity on their father
Well I come home from work yesterday about four and they wanted me to do the limbo
Now I'm a good sorta pappy
Who likes to make his children happy
So I went out and did the limbo 
And now my back is sore
Now my back hurts yeah

Well now please don't you get me wrong folks

But this here modern generation whoa
They gonna be my whole ruination
Doing the limbo and walking steeples
I'm gonna leave it to the young peoples
Stick to what I know doing that's, that's being the family bread winner
