The Household Brownie

(tune: Wichita Lineman (Jimmy Webb, 1968;
Sung by Glen Campbell))

I am the lonely household brownie
And I do the chores here
Workin’ in the night for just a sip of beer
I sweep out all the cobwebs,
I polish every doorknob,
And the household brownie is still on the job

I know I need a small vacation
But chores are never done
There are never enough hours from set to rise of the sun
And I need work more than want to,
But this is home to a slob
So the household brownie is still on the job

And I need work more than want to,
But this is home to a slob
So the household brownie is still on the job
