nellie mckay - i wanna get married lyrics

i wanna get married
yes, i need a spouse
i want a nice leave it to beaverish
golden retriever and a little white house
i wanna get married
i need to cook meals
i wanna pack you cute little lunches
for my brady bunches
then read danielle steele
i wanna escape
this rat race i've created
i'm feelin' enervated
i don't care if i make it
i just want to bake a sugar cake for you
to take to work in the morn
and i'll stay home cleaning the dishes
and keeping your wishes all warm
i wanna get married
that's why i was born

i wanna partake in bake sales for the classroom
i wanna hear the sweet tune
of sally's little vroom-vroom
as she zooms around my broom
as i exhume the gloom
of my shallow life
i wanna be simple and honest and dimpled
'cause i am your wife
i will never tarry
i'm not even torn
i wanna get married
that's why i was born
