Rose Hemingway - Happy To Keep His Dinner Warm (Reprise) lyrics

New Rochelle, New Rochelle That's the place where the mansion will be For me and the darling bright young man I've picked out for marrying me He'll do well, I can tell So it isn't a moment too soon To plan on my life in New Rochelle The wife of my darling tycoon I'll be so happy to keep his dinner warm While he goes onward and upward; Happy to keep his dinner warm Till he comes wearily home from down town I'll be there waiting until his mind is clear While he looks through me, right through me; Waiting to say, "Good evening, dear I'm pregnant. What's new with you from down town?" Oh, to be loved by a man I respect; To bask in the glow of his perfectly understandable neglect Oh, to belong in the aura of his frown--darling busy frown Such heaven--wearing the wifely uniform While he goes onward and upward Happy to keep his dinner warm Till he comes wearily home from down town
