When the big hand is on twelve
And the little hand's on six
You come home tonight
And no more childish pranks
You come home from work real quick
Or your mama get a stick
Yes, your mama get a stick
And mama spank
Every night, you don’t come home
From the way you're out alone
Who would ever think that you're a married man
I would guess your age to be twenty eight going on three
So I’ll speak in a language you can understand
When the big hand is on twelve
And the little hand's on six
You come home tonight
And no more childish pranks
You come home from work real quick
Or your mama get a stick
Yes, your mama get a stick
And mama spank
Yes, I know you like to play
But we've got our bills to pay
And the kids need shoes
Much more than you need fun
Up to now
I've been too mild
You've been acting like a child
So I'll have to just start treating you like one
When the big hand is on twelve...
And the little hand's on six
You come home tonight
And no more childish pranks
You come home from work real quick
Or your mama get a stick
Yes, your mama get a stick
And mama spank

This song is a typically comic-tinged Anderson number with her fed up with her wandering husband, deciding to speak to him like a child since he's behaving as a young child, "twenty-eight, going on three." "When the big hand is on twelve and the little hand on six" Liz Anderson informs, she expects her husband to be home from work or "your mama get a stick and mama spank".
