How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying movie - Happy to Keep His Dinner Warm lyrics

rate me

<br>

Already smitten with Finch, Rosemary fantasizes about life married to him. <br>

<br>

New Rochelle, New Rochelle,<br>

That's the place where the mansion will be<br>

For me and the darling bright young man<br>

I've picked out for marrying me. <br>

<br>

He'll do well, I can tell,<br>

So it isn't a moment too soon<br>

To plan on my life in New Rochelle,<br>

The wife of my darling tycoon. <br>

<br>

I'll be so happy to keep his dinner warm<br>

While he goes onward and upward;<br>

Happy to keep his dinner warm<br>

Till he comes wearily home from down town. <br>

<br>

I'll be there waiting until his mind is clear<br>

While he looks through me, right through me;<br>

Waiting to say, "Good evening, dear.<br>

I'm pregnant. What's new with you from down town?" <br>

<br>

Oh, to be loved by a man I respect;<br>

To bask in the glow of his perfectly understandable neglect.<br>

Oh, to belong in the aura of his frown--darling busy frown.<br>

Such heaven--wearing the wifely uniform<br>

While he goes onward and upward.<br>

Happy to keep his dinner warm<br>

Till he comes wearily home from down town.<br>
