This song is a bit of comic relief, I wrote it about the thousands of times I've had to wait for my lovely wife to get ready yo go out for dinner, movie, event, whatever! Sometime my stomach even growls in protest!😂 It was a very much fun song to do and Charlie and I both took turns at singing it. I wrote it back in 2021 and it was another of those fun songs to help us get through the pandemic! I actually don't wait that long for my wife to get ready, sometimes she's ready before I am, it's just a bit of humor done to a swing rhythm. My wife actually loves this song and thinks it's hilarious. To those who have wives & husbands like that, my condolences! Cheers!🥂

“WAITIN’ FOR MY WIFE BLUES”

EVERY NIGHT, 
I SIT HERE WAITING FOR THE LOVE OF MY LIFE,
SHE'S PROCRASTINATING,  
TAKIN' TWO HOURS TO GET DRESSED,             
THEN ANOTHER TWO 'CAUSE HER HAIR IS A MESS!      

MAN OH MAN, 
MY STOMACH'S GROWLIN' AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND, 
IT'S SO APPALLING, 
I'VE BEEN HANGIN' AROUND SINCE THREE,
IT'S A QUARTER TO NINE, WHERE THE HELL IS SHE!

I'M PASSING OUT 'CAUSE I'M SO DOG-GONE HUNGRY,
BABY, SO C'MON, LET'S GO!
AIN'T WAITIN' 'ROUND HERE NO MORE!  
          
SHE'S TRIED ON A THOUSAND PAIRS OF SHOES,
THE COLORS GOT TO BE JUST RIGHT,
HER NAILS NEED TO MATCH HER EYES OF BLUE,
SHE'S ALREADY TAKEN HALF THE NIGHT!
     
HOLY COW, 
I'VE BITTEN EVERY FINGER NAIL BY NOW, 
IT'S SO FRUSTRATING,
SO DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU,    
WASTING AWAY SINGIN' WAITIN' FOR MY WIFE BLUES!
  
[LEAD]         

I'M PASSING OUT 'CAUSE I'M SO DOG-GONE HUNGRY,
BABY, SO C'MON, LET'S GO!
AIN'T WAITIN' 'ROUND HERE NO MORE!  
          
SHE'S TRIED ON A THOUSAND PAIRS OF SHOES,
THE COLORS GOT TO BE JUST RIGHT,
HER NAILS NEED TO MATCH HER EYES OF BLUE,
SHE'S ALREADY TAKEN HALF THE NIGHT!     

HOLY COW, 
I'VE BITTEN EVERY FINGER NAIL BY NOW, 
IT'S SO FRUSTRATING,
SO DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU,    
WASTING AWAY SINGIN' WAITIN' FOR MY WIFE BLUES!
WAITIN' FOR MY WIFE BLUES!
WAITIN' FOR MY WIFE BLUES!
