Up everyday at six Bacon and Eggs to fix Four kids from 1 to 4 Pretty soon there'll be one more I got four floors to wax and scrub And there's a dirty old ring in the tub I'll get a maid someday, but till then, I'm Queen of the House No time to fix my hair Need a new dress to wear Old clothes will have to do Cause the kids all need new shoes I got bridge club each Tuesday night He's goes out with the boys and gets tight But when the evenin's through he comes home to Queen of the House I know the milkman, iceman, they come every day They give me tips on the horses to play And when I've got the time to spare I sit and wish that I'd picked A rich millionaire...I sing...
