Speaking, speaking of loneliness
And when you speak of Saturday night
You are speaking of loneliness
I guess the main thing
The bottom line
Is to have someone
Or some thing
To say goodnight to
Goodnight
Little house plant
Asleep on the sill
I'll shut the shades
So you don't catch a chill
And tomorrow in the morning
For a breakfast we two
Will have ham and eggs for me
And nitrogen for you
Goodnight
Little house plant
Tucked in your clay pot
Make sure that you don't catch
The Huntington's rot
Be careful
Little house plant
Stay away from them bees
You know that they may carry
A social disease
Goodnight
Little house plant
Little house plant, goodnight
Here's your glass of water
Should I leave on the light?
Tomorrow we'll talk of
The things that we did
I love you, little house plant
Who needs women and kids?
