We Divvied Up The Chores And Now We’re Divorced

A Norwegian study found that couples who split chores equally are more likely to divorce. I wrote a song about it. Wanna hear it? Hear it goes:

We Divvied Up The Chores And Now We’re Divorced

I washed and you dried                 you broiled, I fried

I swept, you mopped                     I diced, you chopped

We shared our love and we shared the chores

But I guess we needed, something more

The times’uh  changed so I learned to cook and clean

You changed the oil in our pick-up trucks with Valvoline

I hemmed your dress, my beautiful bride

Somehow you finished the basement in our double wide

CHORUS

We divvied up the chores and now we’re divorced

We yelled so much that now we’re hoarse

We split em fair and square but it tore us apart

I guess only one of us should have been the feminist from the start

REFRAIN

I’d let you do all the dishes to have you back

I’d let you get me a beer and clean my gun rack

I’ll give you all the warsh and be the better man

But now you’re doing all the chores… with my former best man, Stan
                                                                                      (crescendo)

CHORUS
