Lyrics:
A hard working man,
you really are, you've inspired me to be raising the bar.
but I gotta tell you,
I'm not fakin'.
I love it when you're bringing home the bacon.
You can pamper me with
fancy cars,
diamond rings, and bright gold bars.
But there's one thing , no givin' and no takin'. I love it when you're bringing home the bacon.
I love you and your position, but when we get home I know I'll edge the opposition. Like a boat our tender hearts will set sail, and you'll be the one who always prevails.
I embrace this moment, and I'm not fakin'. But I really love it when you're bringing home the bacon!
You work hard all day while at your job that's no lies. In my book you take first prize. When you come back to me you won't stop, but always come out on top.
You come home with stacks of cash, I can't wait to give you a well deserved bedroom flash.
I embrace this moment, and I'm not fakin' But I really love it when you're bringing home the bacon!
I know you're tired when you step off that train, but when you see me you'll feel joyous again!
I embrace this moment and I"m not fakin'...
Nothing about this is forsaken,
You've earned it all, so slide your snake in,
and I will be forever quakin'
I'm so glad you're bringing home the bacon!

This is exactly what our boys needed while fantasizing about getting home from the war
