What's Wrong with That? (song)

Lyrics[]

Anthony:

I've been bit on my finger

It could have been my leg!

It could have been my head

I might have died!

In a time of mortal peril any man should expect

That his family will come rushing to his side!

What's wrong with that?

What's wrong with that?

My family rushing to my side 

What's wrong with that!?

I'm a good-hearted husband

I'm generous and kind

No wife could have a life as free of cares

So when a good-hearted husband has been bit its only right

That his wife should share the agony he bears

What's wrong with that? 

What's wrong with that?

I want my wife to share my life

What's wrong with that!?

Here in this house I'm raising

Three strong intelligent children

Where are they now in their father's time of need?

I give them private tutors

The finest physical trainers

All in vain

Ohh, the pain!

I believe in the Bible!

Cordy:

I believe in Uncle Sam!

And as sure as old glory waves above!

Anthony:

I believe a man who's bitten has the right to demand

That his family gives him sympathy and love!

What's wrong with that?

Cordy:

What's wrong with that?

Anthony and Cordy:

The flag above, the bible and love

What's wrong with that?!
