Homework Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Mary McCarty
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
