Homework Songtext
[Verse:]
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
[1st refrain:]
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
[2nd refrain:]
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
[3rd refrain:]
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
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
[1st refrain:]
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
[2nd refrain:]
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
[3rd refrain:]
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
