A Day In The Life Of — Me!

I wake up in the morning and pull back the curtains wide And look out through the window to view the world outside To see if the sky is blue or grey, sunny or with rain And see if the postman's on his way with letters that contain News of family and friends and more bills by the way Attempting to motivate the mind and start another day With all the jobs I have to do before we leave the house Get the breakfast going for myself and for my spouse Jump in the car, slip off my shoes My toes are really sore This is the day, the life of me And I still want much more The telephone keeps ringing, the doorbell's buzzing too I'd really love a cup of tea but what am I to do There's can I have, would you please, and could you just this once I'm really getting hungry, my stomach how it grunts There's what's the time and must get done before we start to close And having stood the whole day long the pain that's in my toes Jump in the car, slip off my shoes My feet are going numb Switch off the lights, set the alarm Another day has come Here's home at last but no rest yet, the washing in the drum Oh how I would love to just sit down and quietly read a book At last it's time to climb the stairs, I'm ready for my bed Until a certain little sound shatters the sweet dreams in my head Jump in the car, slip off my shoes My toes are really sore Switch off the lights, set the alarm The day begins once more
