Originally performed by nina simone. jeff performed it live at sin-é, new york, late in the night on december 31 1995. being male, he had to make some changes to the lyrics, so his version is also known as be your husband. he did also cut some verses.
Be your husband if you'll be my wife
Be your husband if you'll be my wife
[original lyrics said be my husband, man, I'll be your wife]

Stick to the promise that you made me
You've gotta stick to the promise that you made me
Stay away from johnny lee
[in the original johnny lee was rosalie]

Oh daddy gotta love me good
Oh daddy gotta love me good
Oh daddy gotta love me good

If you want me to, I'll cook and sew
If you want me to, I'll cook and sew
If you want me to, I'll cook and sew

Don't you treat me so doggone mean
Please don't treat me so doggone mean
Cause you're the meanest man I've ever seen

Oh daddy love me good yeah
Oh daddy love me good yeah
Oh daddy now love me good
Oh daddy now love me good
