The Kinks
You Make It All Worthwhile
Wife Speaking:
'ello love. You look all worn out! Let me take your brief case. That's a good boy. Now you come and sit down over here and relax and I'll make you a nice cuppa tea. Then we'll have dinner and we can sit and watch the tele. By the way dear, how'd you get on at the office
Star Singing:
I mustn't stay in this job too long
I gotta get out before the hold is too strong
Gotta get out before my ambition is gone
'Cos it's breaking me up and bringing me down
But when I get home you make it all worthwhile
You make me laugh and you make me smile
And after a hard day sorting out the files
You make it all worthwhile
Wife Speaking:
Oh, I've just remembered we've only got shepherd's pie
Do you like it?
Star Speaking:
Oh no, I hate it
Wife Speaking:
Hate it? But my Norman loves it and you did ask me to act normally, didn't you. I mean I can't cope with all that fancy stuff you like to eat, like pizzas and Eggs Bena...Benedict, whatever you call it
Star Speaking:
Alright, I'll eat it and afterwards, I'll write a whole verse about your cooking
Star Singing:
You mustn't blame yourself like you do
It's gonna make a nervous wreck out of you
So wipe your nose and dry your eyes
What's the point of cracking up all because of shepherd's pie?
Oh, baby, you never know what I've been through
I break my back and sweat and slave
To bring some money home to you
Oh, baby, you won't believe it, but it's true
What a boring occupation can do
It can make a nervous wreck out of you
It can kill your spirit and destroy your mind
But when I get home you make it all worthwhile
You make me laugh and you make me smile
And after a hard day sorting out the files
You make it all worthwhile
Wife Speaking:
Would you like steam pudding and custard for afters?
Star Speaking:
Darling, that would be marvelous
Wife Singing:
And when I come home you make it all worthwhile
You make me laugh and you make me smile
And after a hard day working on the files
You make it all worthwhile
Star Speaking:
Come on darling, let's go and have dinner
Star Singing:
And when I come home you make it all worthwhile
You make me laugh and you make me smile
And after a hard day working on the files
You make it all worthwhile
