Making a Home (March of the Falsettos)
[MENDEL & TRINA]
Welcome to our humble place
We're concerned with setting a tone
With filling the space
Making a home

[MENDEL]
She becomes a happy wife

[TRINA]
He decides the role to assume
Building a life

[MENDEL]
Painting a room

[MENDEL & TRINA]
What it needs is people
Men and women talking
Men and women thinking out loud
How far to go?

Visit when you please
You are not required to phone
We'll buy the cheese
God bless our home
[TRINA]
Books abound
To show we care
An easy chair
With paintings all around
The perfect shade of green
By the door

Food displayed
In fancy wire
A hearth and fire
Will keep us at our best
We will not be depressed
Anymore

[MENDEL]
Anymore

[TRINA]
Anymore

[MENDEL & TRINA]
Afternoons are awfully nice
After afternoons, we deceive
This is the price
Making believe
What it needs is people
Men and women laughing
Men and women thinking out loud

[TRINA]
Should he love me?

[MENDEL]
Should she love me?

[MENDEL & TRINA]
Yes, we love the bed
Yes, we love to fight the unknown

[TRINA]
Baking the bread

[MENDEL]
Sharpening knives

[MENDEL & TRINA]
Forging ahead
Taking our lives
Making a home
Making a home
Making a home
