The janitor' gone on a spree;

And no one to help him but me.
Father, dear father, come home with me now;
There's scrubbing and sweeping to do;
While mother is solving the problems Of state
The children crying for you.
The socks must be darned, the patches tackled on,
The beds must be turned back to al,
And mothers shirt waist must be ironed tonight
Or she will have nothing to wear.
Father, dear father come home with me now
It's lonely without any man,
And mother will greye when she comes from the club
If things are not fixed spck and span
Don't swear, dear papa; it isn't polite;
The children in hearing might be;
So let business slide, for dear mother you know
May bring home few friends to tea
