You clean the bathroom and I do the dishes I water the lawn and you feed the fishes What a neat little domestic life that we live You change the light bulb and I hold the ladder I get the frying pan and you mix the batter What a neat little domestic life that we live All the lonely days are gone Those long lonely days when I was alone And I felt this world was not the place I belonged But then I met you and now I belong You rake the leaves and I start a fire I clean out the shed and you turn on the dryer What a neat little domestic life that we live I brush the dog and you knit a sweater You vacuum the rug and I write a letter What a neat little domestic life that we live I clear the table and you draw the curtain You ask if I'm happy and I tell you I'm certain That this neat little domestic life is for me
