Re. Fathers Day Song now online ("Househusband Macho!"), by songwriter,
Mike
Nobel
Dear Cincinnati Stay At Home Dads
When I was in the role of full time stay-at-home Dad there were often
self-esteem issues to battle, especially resulting from teasing by
neighbors, friends
and other folks in this rural town in Maine. In a good-natured retort to
the
"Mr. Mom" label, I decided to portray the modern Househusband in a Clint
Eastwood kind of light. I wrote and recorded the "Househusband Macho!"
song to
convey this image, and have had a lot of fun performing the song at many
venues.
The song is a "most requested" listener favorite on Minnesota Public
Radio's
"Morning Program".
Lyrics are in the Attachment (Word format) enclosed with this e-mail,
(also
printed below) and the song is currently online for Father's Day
listening at

With thanks for all your work on behalf of kids, families, and
stay-at-home
dads,

HOUSEHUSBAND MACHO!
Music and Lyrics c 2004 by
Mike Nobel, Gorham, Maine USA
I
Well he was born in the heat of Feminist flames/
When women grew tired of domestic chains/
He saw their plight, he joined their fight/
He has the guts to makes things right!
II
Now there's a new kinda man in our land/
With lonely pride, he makes his stand/
Raisin' babies is his first love/
And he works all day in Playtex gloves!
III
Yeah, he's up in the morning when the rooster crows/
Fryin' eggs, and layin' out clothes/
To his working wife he says, Give 'em hell, honey!"/
Then he hands his kids their hot lunch money!
IV
He gets everybody on out the door/
Then he tackles a mountain of domestic chores/
Cleans the whole house, and when he's through/
He still has time to watch "Oprah" too (orig., "Donahue")!
CHORUS
They call him, Househusband Macho!/
(Ya better not give him any lip!)/
Househusband Macho!/
(He kin fight with a baby on each hip!)/
Househusband Macho!/
(He has "Ivory Liquid" hands)/
He's a mean 'n' lean, baby weanin'/
Bed Straightenin', meal makin'/
Car poolin' "Tupperware" sellin' man!

HOUSEHUSBAND MACHO!
c 2004 by Mike Nobel. Gorham, Maine
(continued)
V
Now when his wife gets home, and falls in her chair/
He has her martini waiting there/
She winks her eye, and pats his thigh/
He'll be ready if she needs him later tonight!/
VI
Well, he kin mop a floor, and stand straight 'n' tall/
Wipe a fingerprint offn' a wall/
He lives his life right on the edge/
And he shoots from the hip with "Lemon Pledge"!
VII
Now tough guys, like John Wayne/
They might look rough in a movie frame/
But their kind would run the other way/
If they had to get a baby toilet trained!
VIII
So here's a warning to all you chauvinist pigs/
You can laugh at us, and make your digs/
But when you're outa work, and home with the kids/
You'll come to me cryin' to teach you the tricks of . . . .
(Repeat CHORUS) . . . .
Househusband Macho!/
(Ya better not give him any lip!)/
Househusband Macho!/
(He kin fight with a baby on each hip!)/
Househusband Macho!/
(He has "Ivory Liquid" hands)/
He's a mean 'n' lean, baby weanin'/
Bed Straightenin', meal makin'/
Car poolin' "Tupperware" sellin' man!
