Wife Naggin'
Cledus T. Judd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She may be my wife but I won't kiss her big behind
No matter how much she whines
Now I've been working hard for way too long
If you think I'm walking the dog taking out the trash
Trimming out the hedges or cleaning out the garage, you're wrong
It's your time to mow the lawn
Praise the Lord I'm going fishin'
It's the only cure for my mental condition
One of these days I'm gonna send her a packin'
I'm sick and tired of my wife naggin'
Feels like forever since I've seen any action
I bet Delilah [Incomprehensible] to Samson
Not the night I'm crampin'
That's right I said crampin'
I'm gonna die for sure from malnutrition
'Cause she won't step one foot in our kitchen
Ain't no wonder I fell off the wagon
I'm sick and tired of my wife naggin'
I forgot our anniversary and I'm really sorry
You're sure it's today I thought it was tomorry
Oh she is gonna kill me
Oh honey please don't kill me
Divorce court let's make a reservation
Maybe then I'll get some rest and relaxation
For now the neighbor's couch is where I'll be crashin'
I'll stay away from my wife's naggin'
I may be overweight
But at least my breasts ain't a saggin'
I'm sick and tired of my wife naggin'
The song "Wife Naggin'" by Cledus T. Judd is a humorous take on the common stereotype of wives nagging their husbands. The lyrics describe the singer's frustration with his nagging wife, who bosses him around and whines all the time. Despite being married to her, the singer refuses to submit to her demands and kiss her behind. He lists all the chores she's been nagging him to do, from walking the dog to mowing the lawn, and decides he's had enough. Instead, he'd rather go fishing to cure his "mental condition".
The song is packed with comedic gems, such as when the singer compares his wife to Delilah, who betrayed Samson in the Bible. He then reveals that he's "crampin'", which is a hilarious detail that adds to the absurdity of the song. The singer also criticizes his wife's cooking and suggests that he's fallen off the wagon due to malnutrition. He even forgets his anniversary and mistakes it for tomorrow, which is a relatable mistake that many husbands may have made. The singer ends the song by contemplating divorce and sleeping on the neighbor's couch instead of dealing with his wife's nagging.
Overall, "Wife Naggin'" is a comical song that plays on the age-old stereotype of wives nagging their husbands. The lyrics are filled with amusing details and exaggerations that make the song both entertaining and relatable.
