I like to go out every now and then
 
 I can't wait to do it again
 
 But I haven't had the time
 
 Lately
 
 
 I like to step out every once in a while
 
 I kind of like to do it in style
 
 I haven't had the time
 
 Lately
 
 
 Lately I've been stayin' at home
 
 (Stayin' at home, stayin' at home)
 
 Workin' the crosswords, turn off the phone
 
 (Turn off the phone, turn off the phone)
 
 
 And I dream I'm on vacation
 
 'Cause I like the way that sounds
 
 It's a perfect occupation
 
 For me
 
 I don't mind being by myself
 
 If there's no one else around
 
 It's the last good time in town
 
 
 Well, I could stand up straight, get a real job
 
 Stay up late with the same old mob
 
 But it hasn't crossed my mind
 
 Lately
 
 
 Put on a suit, work downtown
 
 Then come up when the sun goes down
 
 No, I haven't had the time
 
 Lately
 
 
 Lately I've been stayin' at home
 
 (Stayin' at home, stayin' at home)
 
 Closin' the curtains, play jazz on trombone
 
 (Jazz on trombone, jazz on trombone)
 
 
 And I dream I'm on vacation
 
 No, you won't see me around
 
 It's a perfect situation
 
 For me
 
 I don't mind being by myself
 
 'Cause I know you'll come on down
 
 It's the last good time in town
 
 
 Lately I've been stayin' at home
 
 (Stayin' at home, stayin' at home)
 
 Workin' the crosswords, turn off the phone
 
 (Turn off the phone, turn off the phone)
 
 
 And I dream I'm on vacation
 
 'Cause I like the way that sounds
 
 It's a perfect occupation
 
 For me, yes it is
 
 I don't mind being by myself
 
 If you don't see me around
 
 It's the last good time, last good time in town
