You know, Rosemary
I've seen some ambitious characters around here
But this boy is the eagerest beaver of them all
New Rochelle
Huh?
Or maybe White Plains
No
New Rochelle
What are you talking about?
New Rochelle
What about it?
That's the place where the mansion will be
For me and the darling bright young man
I picked out for marrying me
He'll do well, I can tell
So it isn't a moment too soon
To plan on my life in New Rochelle
The wife of my darling tycoon
Honey, you'll be in New Rochelle
Your darling tycoon'll be here in the office
Smitty, I
The future Mrs. Finch is in for some lonely nights
I'm prepared for exactly that sort of thing
I'll be so happy to keep his dinner warm
While he goes onward and upward
Happy to keep his dinner warm
'Til he comes wearily home from downtown
I'll be there waiting until his mind is clear
While he looks through me, right through me
Waiting to say, "Good evening, dear, I'm pregnant
What's new with you from downtown?"
Home to be loved by a man I respect
To bask in the glow
Of his perfectly understandable neglect
Ought to belong in the aura on his frown
Darling busy frown, such heaven
Wearing the wifely uniform
While he goes onward and upward
Happy to keep his dinner warm
'Til he comes wearily home from downtown
