( D           A )
  Social lives of our own,
( D          A )
  hobbies outside the home,
( D             A )       E
  honey, that's healthy indeed.
    ( D            A )
  But maybe you've gone too far,
( D           A )
  lately your buddies are
( D         A )          E
  givin' me help I don't need:

  A                ( A          F#m )
  We got the busiest kitchen in town,
     ( D           A )       ( E        A ) 
  with all of your girlfriends hangin' around,
  A                   ( A           F#m )
  fixin' you coffee an' fixin' your hair,
  D                        ( E          A )
  bringin' little trinkets & secrets to share.
          E                     A
  You got too many sisters your mom never knew,
  D                   ( D                A )
  too many women takin' too good care of you.
  E                        F#m
  Our kids are confused by too many aunts,
  D                              ( E )       A
  you got too many sisters cuttin' into this dance.

          A                        ( A       F#m )
  I'm the Lord of the House, an' within my domain
        ( D            A )             ( E            A ) 
  lie the lawn an' the workbench an' the kitchen sink drain.
       A                  ( A                F#m )
  Now, fixin' the car is my strong point I'd say,
           D                   ( Em         E )
  'cause I do it so often - just like yesterday,
        F#m                       ( F#m       A )
  when, just when I figure out what I'm gonna do,
      Bm7                                  ( E           A )
  an' head off to find the perfect wrench to hammer that screw,
         A                         F#m
  I come runnin' back hearin' that slam of the hood -
             D                            ( E             A ) 
  seems some sister's just finished and the car's runnin' good.
  
  You got too many sisters lendin' a hand,
  not seemin' to know how a woman needs a man.
  The kids are confused by too many aunts,
  by too many sisters wearin' the pants,
  by too many sisters cuttin' into this dance.

 Too many sisters, and not one a nun,
 You an' your lady friends have far too much fun.
 Our kids are confused by too many aunts.
 There's too many sisters cuttin' into this dance.

 I'm an easygoin' guy, I do try to get along,
 but them pickups are plowin' deep ruts in my lawn,
 I relax in the back an' pop open a beer,
 I turn on the game, but I can't even hear
 for that pickup truck haulin' up, then once you hop in,
 it's spittin' sod an' squealin' down the street once again,
 hell-bent for Dairy Freeze Double Fudge Swirls,
 the stereo blarin' out Indigo Girls,
 with too many sisters your brothers ain't seen,
 too many actresses stealin' the scene.
 The kids are confused by too many aunts,
 by too many sisters wearin' the pants,
 way too many sisters cuttin' into this dance.
