The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
I’m getting tired of eating in restaurants
They don’t appeal to me
If we could own a cute apartment
I’d know just what a joyful heart meant
I hate to think of waiters and bill-of-fares
When evening time draws near
Three little rooms will be just like heaven
When we are married dear
Chorus
In a cozy kitchenette apartment for two
I’ll be setting the table
While you’re cooking a stew
For me and you
I’ll be there to help you
Put the dishes away
Then together we’ll listen
To the phonograph play
The tuneful Humoresque
And oh, what bliss
When it’s time to kiss
In a cozy kitchenette apartment for two
