HOMEWORK

from "Miss Liberty" 1949 musical 
New York

Irving Berlin  1949

as recorded by Helen Forrest with Earl Hagen & his Orchestra  
June 16th 1949


Homework,
I wanna do homework,
Instead of an office,
I wanna work home!
Staying
At home and crocheting,
And meekly obeying
The guy who comes home!

A cosy kitchen;
To be in there pitchin',
It's the thing I'm longin' to do.
To be there learnin'
When a steak needs turnin',
And just what goes into a stew.

Homework,
I wanna do homework,
A genius who sits and plans
with pots and pans at home.
A genius who bakes a pie
That keeps a guy at home!

Homework,
I wanna do homework,
A genius who sits and plans
with pots and pans at home.
A genius who bakes a pie
That keeps a guy at home!
