Lyrics

THE THOUGHTFUL HELPFUL HUSBAND
(Clifford Fry, Douglas Sharp)

Chorus: The thoughtful helpful husband
The thoughtful helpful husband
The hard hard working little bear
Never causin' trouble, always working double
Always doing more than his share.

If the wife has got three wishes
The husband does the dishes
The laundry's also left in his care
When things are all a rubble
He'll work and perk and scrubble
'Till things are in a state of repair.

Repeat Chorus

If the vacuum cleaner's broken
Not a word is spoken
The husband heads right for the broom
With a dustpan in his hand
He'll do the best he can
Setting things straight in the room.

Repeat Chorus

All the garbage cans
Know the touch of his two hands
They really are a part of his life
They seem about to shout
When he comes to take them out
"Where have you been hiding the wife?"

Repeat Chorus

He lends his hand so freely
Never boasting or revealing
Just how much work the husband really does
But he's secretly amazed
Beneath his soft and loving gaze
At how thoughtful and helpful that he was.

Repeat Chorus
