Robert Palmer - Housework lyrics

Wave goodbye from out of the window Good-no trouble starting the car Time for just one more cup of coffee You know the housework won't wait Where to start now? - time to get going The housework keeps you feeling alive Clear the plates and wash up the dishes RRR! - Let's go - now the bedroom Make the bed and fluff up the pillows The housework makes you happy Shake the rug and open the windows The housework keeps you feeling alive Close the drawers and tidy the closet The housework keeps you going Throw the dirty clothes in the hamper RRR! - Let's go - looking better RRR! - Let's go - get the vacuum Round the carpets under the table The housework makes you happy Dust the shelves and polish the gla**-ware The housework keeps you feeling alive Make some lunch and take out the garbage The housework keeps you going Pay the bills and get the dry-cleaning RRR! - Let's go - time for shopping Bread and milk and plenty of groceries The housework makes you happy Get some cash out of the dispenser The housework keeps you feeling alive Don't forget to stock up the freezer The housework keeps you going Get some wine for later this evening Home by five! - how the kitchen RRR! - Let's go - make the dinner Get the roast into the oven The housework makes you happy Peel the veg and then set the table The housework keeps you feeling alive Freshen up and put on some music The housework got your dancing Light the candles - there goes the doorbell RRR! - she's home - perfect timing! Welcome back, dear - how did your day go? The housework's nearly over How about an aperitif, dear? I'll get the dinner you open the wine Pa** the salt - you want more potatoes? No more housework Leave the dishes until tomorrow RRR! Let's play
