      E                        A         G 
I'm a stay-at-home dad, I'm on paternity leave 
      E                              A        G 
I'm a stay-at-home dad, it's just my baby and me 
      E                          A         G 
I'm a stay-at-home dad, while my wife's at work 
           E                     A             G      A 
I've got a bottle in my hand and spit up on my shirt 


verse 1 

E                E         E2 
Baby wakes me up around 5 am 
E                     E                    E2 
Kicking and screaming until his face turns red 
   E                     E              E2 
He usually tends to calm down once he's fed 
     E                       E                E2 
So I give him his bottle, my wife gets out of bed 
E                      E                   E2 
Cook my wife breakfast while she's getting ready 
E           E                         E2 
O-oh, o-oh, someone's diaper is smelly 
E           E                           E2 
O-oh, o-oh, it leaked all over his belly 
E           E                              E2 
O-oh, o-oh, it looks like mustard and jelly 
E                    E                    E2 
Kiss my wife goodbye while I clean up his bum bum 
     E                  E                E2 
It's time for his bath, this is gonna be fun fun 
  E              E           E2 
I try not to get soap in his eyes 
   E                      E             E2 
He really doesn't like it, it makes him cry 
E                                E           E2 
But if he cries to make him stop, I've got a trick 
E                   E                  E2 
I make funny noises with my mouth like this 
E            E                   E2 
Brr brr brr, ga ga goo goo ga ga ga 
E                       E             E2 
Then we play pick-a-boo, it makes him laugh 


      E                        A         G 
I'm a stay-at-home dad, it's a full time job 
      E                       A         G 
I'm a stay-at-home dad, but I like it a lot 
      E                        A             G 
I'm a stay-at-home dad, during his afternoon nap 
  E                              A             G      
I watch The Price Is Right and I make myself a snack 
A 
  Cheese and crackers 


verse 2 

E                 E                  E2 
If I have errands to run, I take the van 
E                        E                   E2 
Strap him in his car seat and bring his baby bag 
E                     E                     E2 
I always make sure his seat's well strapped in 
   E               E       E2 
My baby’s security is important 
E                   E                 E2 
Groceries, pay some bills, visit grandma 
      E                  E              E2  
But I gotta make sure to be back by 4 o'clock 
E                       E              E2 
So I can prepare supper while I watch Oprah 
E                           E             E2           
What should I make tonight, maybe some pasta 
E                  E                  E2 
And a Caesar salad, my wife will like that 
E                    E             E2 
5 o'clock’s the time that she gets back 
E                           E         E2 
She asks me how my day was, I say not bad 
E                        E                 E2 
It's all in a day's work as a stay-at-home dad 


      E                   A          G 
I'm a stay-at-home dad, I don't take drugs 
      E                       A            G 
I'm a stay-at-home dad, I get high on baby hugs 
      E                        A          G 
I'm a stay-at-home dad, I like Winnie the Pooh 
       E                             A         G 
But my favourite Disney movie is the Lion King 2 
A 
  I also like Ice Age 


Outro 

E 
  That's right I take care of my children 
E 
  That's right I take care of my children 
E 
  That's right I take care of my children 
E 
  That's right I take care of my children 
E 
  That's right I take care of my children 
E 
  That's right I take care of my children 
E 
  That's right I take care of my children 
E 
  That's right I take care of my children
