Taking Care of Business
The thing about you and me babe
We're like two peas in a pod
You go to work every morning
I stay at home with no job
But don't worry that's okay
Somehow we'll both survive
I'll take care of the business
You do your 9 to 5
Oh, I almost forgot the kid next door
Says he's going to do the lawn
Could you leave some money for him this time
It's embarrassing when I have none
I see that bothers you but that's okay
You do the best you can
You only let it happen once
And I'm an understanding man
Of course when it comes down to it
It's hard to get much done really
With so much action going on
The daytime soaps on T.V.
So you run along now and have fun
The rent is due next week
And we don't want the landlord throwing us
Out in the middle of the street
Later that day....
Honey, I know you've had a hard day at work
So I ordered us both something to go
If it's not too much trouble
Could you pick it up on your way home
You know I know what you like
It's your favorite Chinese
There's really no need to thank me
I'm just here to please
And don't worry after dinner
I'll clean up the mess
Certainly can't be having you
Worry your pretty little head
You can just sit back and relax
Take time to unwind
In fact the trash will be here in the morning
You and I need some snuggle time
There's a good game on the tube
Or maybe go early to bed
So you'll be all fresh in the morning
To get up and do it all over again
