Business as usual at the harmony home 
Up for the weekend to see my father 
So I'm the one beneath the unturned stone 
I begin the ritual fortnight saga 
Get in the cab, bags packed with clothes 
Cassette player, the jungle of hose 
A pair of shoes for walking in 
Out of the cab, the doorbell rings 

Hungover greetings from the man in my life 
A hug, a kiss, and a mug by the fire 
He says I should need a woman I might like 
I drop my bags and walk right by her 

Get in the bath, bubbles up high 
Cassette player plays in the night 
She's at the door, wants to come in 
I'm in the bath, I loudly sing 

Business as usual at the harmony home 
I can't believe it how time flies 
I'm waving
