[Lyric] Just A Housewife (Working: A Musical (Original London Cast))

All I am is just a housewife
Nothing special, nothing great
What I do is kinda boring
If you'd rather, it can wait
All I am is someone's mother
All I am is someone's wife
All of which seems unimportant
All it is is
Just my life...

Do the laundry, wash the dishes
Take the dog out, clean the house
Shop for groceries, look for specials
God, it sounds so Mickey Mouse

Drop the kids off, pick the shirts up
Try to lose weight, try again
Keep the troops fed, pick their things up
Lose your patience, count to ten
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
All I am is just a housewife
Just a housewife, nothing great
What I do is "out of fashion!"
What I feel is "out of date"
All I am is someone's mother
Right away I'm not too bright
What I do is unfulfilling
So the T.V. talk-shows tell me every night

I don't mean to complain and all
But they make you feel like you're two feet tall
When you're just a wife (Just a housewife)
All they see are the pots and pans
And the Pepsi cans of a person's life (My life)

You're a "whiz" if you go to work
But you're just a jerk if you say you won't (Just a housewife)
People say that they think it's fine
If the choice is mine
But you know they don't

What I do, what I choose to do
May be dumb to you
But it's not to me
Is it dumb that they need me there?
Is it dumb to care?
Cause I do, ya see
And I mean, did you ever think
Really stop and think
What a job it was—
Doing all the things
That a housewife does?

I'm afraid it's unimpressive
All I am is someone's mother
Nothing special

What I do is unexciting (What I do is kinda dull)
Take the kids here, take the kids there (Mommy)
I don't mean to complain at all... (All I am is)

(My life, All I am is)
Busy busy (Ev'ryday, All I am is)
Like my mother (All I am is)

Just a housewife
