Loudon Wainwright Iii - Housework lyrics

I've been waiting for you to come through that door, dear Your whereabouts tonight I do not know The house is nice and clean, the winegla**es they gleam The candles on the table cast their glow I finished cooking dinner an hour ago I've been listening for the sound of your step, darling Hoping that I hear it on the stair You've been gone all day, I hate when you're away Don't worry though, I've hoovered everywhere Just to prove to you I really I've been washing dishes all the live long day I've been making wishes; "You'll come home and stay" Don't worry, sweetheart, I did all the shopping While I was out I dropped off your blouse I paid all the bills and I picked up your pills Mustn't grumble, no I shouldn't grouse Your heart's here though you're nowhere near this house I've been wondering when you'll come home, baby I'm paranoid you're with another guy You said I was your man, the bathroom's spick and span I even cleaned the mirror, that's no lie As I did a tear came to my I've been washing dishes all the live long day I've been making wishes; "You'll come home and stay" I pray you haven't gone and left me, bum fluff If you did, I don't know what I'd do Herein lies the rub, I even did the tub You treat me like a dog, a worn out shoe I got down on all fours, dear, just for (I've been washing dishes)
