Lyrics

At Home, at Work, at Play

At home, at work, at play

I know you're unavailable from dusk to dawn

Or if you were available you'd bring along

A lot of what could only be a hindrance to me

I ain't a glutton for a lot of sweaty company

You gotta catch her while she's still at home

You gotta catch her while she's still at work

You gotta catch her while she's still at play

The only way is at home, work, or play

Time really flies when it ain't that much time

You better shave half your face at a time

And brush the front of your teeth, leave the rest

And be with her when she's not with the rest

Stop, there's gotta be a million girls like her, though

I can't think of one

So, you catch her while she's still at home

And you catch her while she's still at work

And you catch her while she's still at play

Don't let her calendar be any cause to pout

There is a bit of time when there are few about

I'm gonna skirt the issue of her popularity

And just avail myself of all the time that she is free

You gotta catch her while she's still at home

You gotta catch her while she's still at work

You gotta catch her while she's still at play

Cause half the day she's at home, work or play

And time is fleeing the scene of the crime

The act of passing out wrinkles and lines

To every person regardless of race

To every person regardless of face

Stop, there's gotta be a million girls like her though

I can't think of one

So, at home she says you butler well

And at work she says you're typing well

And at play she says you caddie well

[Instrumental Break]

At home, at work, at play

At home, at work, at play

Stop, there's gotta be a million girls like her though

I can't think of one

So, you catch her while she's still at home

And you catch her while she's still at work

And you catch her while she's still at play

I'm gonna love you under incandescent light

I'm gonna love you under fluorescent light

The glaring sun above should not inhibit us at all

I'm very glad to know that your libido never palls

Stop, she's unique, especially at home

Where you're butler, maid, and often cook

And at work together juggling books

Or at play between the tennis sets

Or at play before she's placed her bet

Or at play while she's still slightly wet

Or at play while she is dripping wet

At home, at work, at play
