I like to go out every now and then

I can't wait to do it again

But I haven't had the time

Lately



I like to step out every once in a while

I kind of like to do it in style

I haven't had the time

Lately



Lately I've been stayin' at home

(Stayin' at home, stayin' at home)

Workin' the crosswords, turn off the phone

(Turn off the phone, turn off the phone)



And I dream I'm on vacation

'Cause I like the way that sounds

It's a perfect occupation

For me

I don't mind being by myself

If there's no one else around

It's the last good time in town



Well, I could stand up straight, get a real job

Stay up late with the same old mob

But it hasn't crossed my mind

Lately



Put on a suit, work downtown

Then come up when the sun goes down

No, I haven't had the time

Lately



Lately I've been stayin' at home

(Stayin' at home, stayin' at home)

Closin' the curtains, play jazz on trombone

(Jazz on trombone, jazz on trombone)



And I dream I'm on vacation

No, you won't see me around

It's a perfect situation

For me

I don't mind being by myself

'Cause I know you'll come on down

It's the last good time in town



Lately I've been stayin' at home

(Stayin' at home, stayin' at home)

Workin' the crosswords, turn off the phone

(Turn off the phone, turn off the phone)



And I dream I'm on vacation

'Cause I like the way that sounds

It's a perfect occupation

For me, yes it is

I don't mind being by myself

If you don't see me around

It's the last good time, last good time in town
