Jeff is now home and retired. Janet still goes to work while he stays at home and does little more than laze around and play music. It is his responsibility to at least get the dishes done before she gets home. The rest of the chores listed in the song are pure fantasy and Janet wishes he actually did a fraction of them.

Lyrics
Just wash the dishes
Get 'em done in time
Stop yer clock watching
She'll be home at five
And you know she won't be happy
If there's a mess when she gets home
Put away the vacuum
and fold the clothes
Mop the bathroom floor
Put that guitar where it goes
'Cause you know she won't be happy
If there's a mess when she gets home
I love her dearly
Wanna please her so
She's everything I got
and I don't want her to go
Take out the laundry
Put it on the line
Clean out the bathtub
and scrub the tiles
'Cause you know she won't be happy
If there's a mess when she gets home
Take out the garbage
Rake up the Lawn
Mow the grass
and put the kettle on
'Cause you know she won't be happy
If there's a mess when she gets home
I love her dearly
Wanna please her so
She's everything I got
and I don't want her to go
Just weed the garden
and wash the car
Feed the critters
Put the dinner on
And you know that she'll be happy
'Cause there's no mess when she gets home
Just Wash the Dishes
Just Wash the Dishes
Just Wash the Dishes
Just Wash the Dishes
And honey, mow that lawn
