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
