The washtub's in the parlor
Filled full with bric-a-brac,
The dinner set Is In the hall
All ready to unpack;
The teakettle's down cellar
With all the kitchen ware,
The carving knife Is somewhere round,
But no one knows just where.
There's straw ana paper scattered
Around In every room;
The parlor mirrors shattered
From contact with broom;
Upon new piano
They've piled box of books;
They've scratched the vsrnish on the lid
And cracked IL from the looks.
The hired girl is ugly.
Your wife Is wild almost.
The children pale and frightened.
As IL they'd seen ghost,
Your back aches and you're hungry,
And cross as all possessed;
You'd give your bottom dollar for
An hour or two OF rest.
All day we toll And struggle
Like any wretched slave,
TIL, when night comes. you feel prepared
To stink into your grave;
And when you 20 TO bed you dream
OF mansions up above,
Where people have no rent to pay
