Zip It Up

Vs. 1
I’m tired of slave’n ev’ry day and comin’ home at night
To you askin’, “What’s for supper, hon? Fix something’ that I LIKE!”
You yell, “The baby’s cryin’…, and you think he’s done his “dos”.
That “YOU can’t change him, that’s MY job, n’ YOU gotta watch the news.”
You say us WOMEN are the ones who tend to talk too much --
(Well), HERE’S NEWS for YOU in three short words…,
“Zip it up!”

CHORUS
“Zip it up.
Zip it up.
We’re IN a rut,
You’re OUTTA touch,
So zip it up!”

Vs. 2
“This Mac’N Cheese I’m makin’ now reminds me how I feel.
I’m BOILIN’ HOT ’bout what YOU’RE NOT, and I’m just an EMPTY shell.
Where’s THAT sweet, sexy man I knew the day we said our vows?
If EVER I could WISH HIM back, LORD HELP ME DO IT NOW!
ENJOY your girly magazine, you JUST ran outta LUCK…
If you’ve got LOVIN’ on your mind tonight,
Zip It Up!”

CHORUS 2
“Zip it up.”
“Zip it up.”
There’ll be No Ifs,
No Ands or Buts…,
So Zip it up!”

CHORUS 3
“Zip it up
“I’VE HAD ENOUGH!”
There’ll be No Ifs,
No Ands or Buts…,
So Zip it up!”

--(Short Instrumental Break)

Tag
(Spoken) “That’s right” --
No Ifs…,
No Ands…,
No Buts,
Tonight
“JUST ZIP IT UP!”
