Happy to Keep His Dinner Warm

New Rochelle, New Rochelle
That's the place where the mansion will be
For me and the darling bright young man
I've picked out for marrying me

He'll do well, I can tell
So it isn't a moment too soon
To plan on my life in New Rochelle
The wife of my darling tycoon

Honey, you'll be in New Rochelle
Your darling tycoon will be here in the office
The future Mrs. Finch is in for some lonely nights

Smitty, I'm prepared for exactly that sort of thing!

I'll be so happy to keep his dinner warm
While he goes onward and upward
Happy to keep his dinner warm
Till he comes wearily home from downtown

I'll be there waiting until his mind is clear
While he looks through me, right through me
Waiting to say, "Good evening, dear
I'm pregnant. What's new with you from downtown?"

Oh, to be loved by a man I respect
To bask in the glow of his perfectly understandable neglect
Oh, to belong in the aura of his frown
Darling busy frown
Such heaven

Wearing the wifely uniform
While he goes onward and upward
Happy to keep his dinner warm
Till he comes wearily home from downtown
