Lyrics

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
Ouer 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

You make it all worthwhile

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:
Oh, I've just remembered we've only got shepherd's pie
Do you like it?

Star:
No, I hate it

Wife:
Hate it? but you see norman loves it so much 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

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?

Baby, you never know what I've been through
I break my back and sweat and slave
To bring some money home to you
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

Star:
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
