01Put That Smile to Work2:44
[Verse 1] You can talk a bird down from the tree Talk the sugar out of tea Talk my mother into giving you The biggest slice she ever knew But when the dishes start to climb You remember somewhere, sometime Someone's waiting down the street That you absolutely have to meet [Chorus] Put that smile to work Put those pretty hands to use You can charm me till the morning But that broom won't dance with you I don't need a million dollars I don't need a man in silk Put that smile to work, my darling You can start by buying milk [Verse 2] You made a shelf above the stove Everybody came to look You put the nails in like a drummer Then you found my missing book I kissed you twice for being clever You said it wasn't very hard I said there might be more such kisses If you tried the little yard [Bridge] I'm not trying to change your nature I adore the way you shine If you wash, I'll do the drying Put your hands right next to mine [Final Chorus] Put that smile to work Put those pretty hands to use You can charm me till the morning But that broom won't dance with you I don't need a million dollars I don't need a man in silk Put that smile to work, my darling And I'll meet you at the sink

02He Learned My Middle Name2:54
[Verse 1] He didn't bring a dozen roses He didn't promise me the moon He found a booth beside the window Where we could spend the afternoon He knew I never finish coffee He knew my aunt was home again He asked me how the trip had tired her And if she'd taken back her cane [Chorus] He learned my middle name The one I never say He asked my mother how I got it And remembered it next day He listens through my troubles He never turns away I tell the girls it's nothing But he learned my middle name [Verse 2] They say I'm smiling at the mirror They say I'm humming at the stove They say I hardly hear the kettle When his footsteps cross the floor I say a girl can like a fellow Without losing all her sense Then he knocks and I go running And they laugh at my defence [Bridge] Anyone can call you darling Anyone can say you're sweet But he can tell when I am tired By the way I move my feet [Final Chorus] He learned my middle name The one I never say He asked my mother how I got it And remembered it next day He listens through my troubles He never turns away I tell the girls it's nothing But he learned my middle name
