[00:09.01] Don't bring the milk in
[00:13.09] Leave it on the porch
[00:18.01] Don't read the papers
[00:22.13] Don't mow the lawn no more
[00:27.07] Drive to the market
[00:31.15] At the break of dawn
[00:35.13] Watch 'em unload the produce
[00:39.12] Then ride right back home
[00:43.18] It's the white man's burden
[00:48.19] And it weighs a ton
[00:52.10] I'm a family man
[00:56.23] Model citizen
[01:05.26] Torment the mailman
[01:09.27] Terrorize the maid
[01:13.29] Try to teach 'em some manners
[01:18.23] Whip 'em into shape
[01:22.28] Down in the basement
[01:26.28] I've got a Craftsman lathe
[01:30.36] Show it to the children
[01:34.33] When they misbehave
[01:39.43] It's the white man's burden
[01:43.44] And it weighs a ton
[01:47.47] I'm a family man
[01:51.45] Model citizen
[01:58.49] I'm a law-abiding man
[02:07.58] I'm a good Samaritan
[02:15.53] I pay my taxes when I can
[02:21.46] Model citizen
[02:39.40] In the cool of the evening
[02:43.48] When the sun goes down
[02:47.48] My wife's playing canasta
[02:51.41] With everyone in town
[02:55.57] When I feel the pressure
[03:00.50] And I need a break
[03:04.55] Load up the Winnebago
[03:08.54] Drive it in the lake
[03:12.55] It's the white man's burden
[03:17.47] And it weighs a ton
[03:21.47] I'm a family man
