Homework - Jo Stafford, Ирвинг Берлин

I’m so tired of working in an office

And it’s making me blue

There is work that don’t require an office

That I’m anxious to do Homework, I want to do homework

Instead of an office, I want to work home

Staying at home and crocheting

And meekly obeying

The guy who comes home

A cozy kitchen to be in there pitchin'

Is the thing I’m longing to do To be there learning when a steak needs turning

And just what goes into a stew

Homework, I want to do homework

A genius who sits and plans with pots and pans at home

A genius who bakes a pie that keeps a guy at home

Homework, I want to do homework

Instead of an office, I want to work home

Messing around with French dressing

And slightly impressing

The guy who comes home

I long to settle with a steaming kettle

And a frying pan and a pot

And be the keeper of a carpet sweeper

That’s the one ambition I’ve got

Homework, I want to do homework

A genius who has a way that makes him stay at home

A genius who has what takes that makes or breaks a home

Homework, I want to do homework

Instead of an office, I want to work home

Patching his trousers and matching

The part that keeps scratching

The guy who comes home

A table wiper who can change a diaper

Is the thing I’d like to be best

And be the master of a mustard plaster

When the cold goes down to his chest

Homework, I want to do homework

A genius who does her part so he don’t start to roam

A genius who earns her keep that makes him sleep at home
