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

Do I detect a little cynicism here Mike? The truth can be funnier that a lie, sometimes. I really love this one.
