At home, at work, at play
I know you're unavailable from dusk to dawn Or if you were available you'd bring along A lot of what could only be a hindrance to me I ain't a glutton for a lot of sweaty company You gotta catch her while she's still at home You gotta catch her while she's still at work You gotta catch her while she's still at play The only way is at home, work, or play Time really flies when it ain't that much time You better shave half your face at a time And brush the front of your teeth, leave the rest And be with her when she's not with the rest Stop, there's gotta be a million girls like her, though I can't think of one So you catch her while she's still at home And you catch her while she's still at work And you catch her while she's still at play Don't let her calendar be any cause to pout There is a bit of time when there are few about I'm gonna skirt the issue of her popularity And just avail myself of all the time that she is free You gotta catch her while she's still at home You gotta catch her while she's still at work You gotta catch her while she's still at play Cause half the day she's at home, work or play And time is fleeing the scene of the crime The act of passing out wrinkles and lines To every person regardless of race To every person regardless of face Stop, there's gotta be a million girls like her though I can't think of one So at home she says you butler well And at work she says you're typing well And at play she says you caddie well Stop, There's gotta be a million girls like her though I can't think of one So you catch her while she's still at home And you catch her while she's still at work And you catch her while she's still at play I'm gonna love you under incandescent light I'm gonna love you under fluorescent light The glaring sun above should not inhibit us at all I'm very glad to know that your libido never palls Stop, she's unique, especially at home Where you're butler, maid, and often cook And at work together juggling books Or at play between the tennis sets Or at play before she's placed her bet Or at play while she's still slightly wet Or at play while she is dripping wet |

I'm on guard again but unprepared to fend for myself in a battle
You wont tell me why the shrubbery moves Or why there always has to be subterfusion You wont even say "at ease" After waging a costly siege When a potentate ain't so potent in his state he summons help fast Unilaterally I withdraw What was peace is now a grand coup d'etat The Purple Heart for valour please And no heart for you Denise Reinforcements, reinforcements I could use a strong rear guard Reinforcements, reinforcements First the left flank, then the right I'd sooner work the PX tonight Spoken: You intercept my S.O.S in order that no news of my distress will ever reach the homefront and about my camouflage, well, it didn't work on you ... in fact most things they tell recruits never seem to do Raise my rank if I should last another night so tortuous Reinforcements, reinforcements I don't want a tete-a-tete Reinforcements, reinforcements Let's reach accord, and ink a pact Then, please dismiss your regiment |

Just keep right on walking
Just keep right on walking Don't dilly-dally, come right home I don't see why I must go home When in the streets the niceties Come pouring out and over me Its three o'clock and here they come So many that my eyes are numb Familiar faces each and all But I've been ordered not to stall Thanks but no thanks, anyway I know that you're all OK, but My orders come from high above me About a foot or two above me The merry band of "How are you's" In tweedy suits and pointy shoes They offer me a ride in style And something sweet to make me smile I hate to hurt their feelings so But I'm supposed to tell them no My parents say the world is cruel I think that they prefer it cruel Thanks but no thanks, anyway I know that you're all OK, but My orders come from high above me About a foot or two above me Just keep right on walking Just keep right on walking Just keep right on walking Just keep right on walking Thanks but no thanks, anyway I know that you're all OK, but My orders come from high above me About a foot or two above me Thanks but no thanks anyway Thanks but no thanks anyway Thanks but no thanks anyway, anyway, anyway |

The Exodus is on
The impetus is gone Nobody's having fun How about another drink Or maybe just a snack The rest will be here soon Here, let me take your mac I know its started slow There's still no need to go Don't leave me alone with her Every home is Rome alone with her And if you all go, who'll say no to her Don't leave me alone with her Don't my sweat and shaking register Cause if you all go, who'll say no to her You look at her and say, "She looks OK to me" I look at her and say, "She looks OK to me" The reason's very clear You're watching her with me Don't leave me alone with her Every home is Rome alone with her And if you all go, who'll say no to her Unwitting chaperons, how come you cannot see Unwitting chaperons, how come you cannot see A Hitler wearing heels A soft Simon Legree A Hun with honey skin De Sade who makes good tea Don't leave me here to be Don't leave me here to be? Don't leave me alone with her, etc. |

When she's on her best behaviour
Don't be tempted by her favours Never turn your back on Mother Earth Towns are hurled from A to B By hands that looked so smooth to me Never turn your back on Mother Earth Grasp at straws that don't want grasping Gaze at clouds that come down crashing Never turn your back on Mother Earth Three days and two nights away from my friends Amen to anything that brings a quick return To my friends To my friends Never turn your back on Mother Earth I'll admit I was unfaithful But from now on I'll be more faithful Never turn your back on Mother Never turn your back on Mother Never turn your back on Mother Earth |

<Someone to bring me out
Someone to let me in Someone, someone... And all the eager-beaver men come macho way their blues They place themselves in place of me and face to face with you And each pretend, you're loving him but that's not very true Cause you're not acting, nor am I though I could use some proof Marry me, marry me, what's the story Though a thousend hungry people try to crash our story But no one in this darkened world Need ever know but I know Marry me A happily-ever-after does that seem to much to ask? With trees and tots and stucco walls and fountains in the back And lawns that you or I can mow and neighbours who will chat About important issues and the state of this 'n that Marry me, marry me... Someone to bring me out Someone to let me in Someone to bring me joy Somebody near me Somebody near me Somebody nearly me The purple mountains majesty above the fruited plain Is peeling off the wall of Lucky Miramar Motel Marry me, marry me... Someone to bring me out... Marry me...> |
