Lyrics
Oh, goodness. 7:15 already. I don't know what's come
Over him. He's always up by seven on the dot. (sung)
Lucy, look at the time
Lucy, you're late
Lucy, there's so much to do
Lucy, the eggs
Lucy, the juice
Lucy, the coffee, the toast
A husband takes care of the things
His wife needs him to take care of
Then in turn, she takes care of him
And solves problems he wasn't aware of
You hear that?
That's the sound of the eggs being cracked
You hear that?
That's the pop of the toast
You hear that?
That's the snap of the bacon
Of course, it's the sound that I know he loves most
(Spoken)
Are you up yet, dear? Breakfast!
(Sung)
I see to my man
However I can
Whatever he needs
Lucy, get the cloth
Lucy, the table
Lucy, make sure that it's right
Lucy, the porch
Lucy, the paper
See if it's outside the door
A husband takes care of the things
His wife needs him to take care of
When his newspaper must be retrieved
His wife ensures that it's received
You hear that?
That's the sound of unfurling the cloth
You hear that?
That's the sound of the plates
You hear that?
That's the sound of a happy man
See, I knew that he wouldn't be late
(Spoken)
Hurry dear, breakfast is getting cold!
(Sung)
I see to my man
However I can
Whatever he needs
Johnny, breakfast!
John?
Johnny?
John?
John!
John!
My husband took care of the things
That I needed him to take care of
Then he left, and he never came back
And what happened, no one is aware of
You hear that?
You hear that?
You hear that?
Today will be our final day
Where is my man?
Where is my Johnny?
