"You Make It All Worthwhile" lyrics

"You Make It All Worthwhile"

[He arrives home. He fumbles in his pockets for his keys but there is no need. Andrea is waiting to greet him with open arms.]

[Wife:]
Hello, 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:]
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
'Cause 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:]
Oh, I've just remembered we've only got shepherd's pie
Do you like it?

[Star:]
Oh, no! I hate it

[Wife:]
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:]
Alright, I'll eat it and afterwards, I'll write a whole verse about your cooking

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:]
Would you like steam pudding and custard for afters

[Star:]
Darling, that would be marvellous

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

Come on darling, let's go and have dinner

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
