Content

This song is a typically comic-tinged Anderson number with her fed up with her wandering husband, deciding to speak to him like a child since he's behaving as one. "When the big hand is on twelve and the little hand on six" Anderson informs, she expects her husband to be home from work or "your mama get a stick and mama spank".
