Lyrics:
Up ev'ry day at six
Bacon and eggs to fix
Four kids from one to four
Pretty soon there'll be one more

I got old 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 goes out with the boys and gets tight
But when the evenin's through he comes a-home to
The queen of the house

I know the milkman, the iceman, they come ev'ry day
They give me tips on the horses to play
And when I got the time to spare
I sit and wish that I'd picked a rich millionaire

I sing up every day at six
Bacon and eggs to fix
Four kids from one to four
Pretty soon there'll be one more

But Sundays I'm mighty glad
We send the kids to his mom and dad
It's the day that makes me glad I'm
Queen of the house
