Houseeleaning5 time, house-cleaning time!
The housewives are buslly chasing the CRIME;

And upstairs or downstairs, wherever you fare,
The odor suds and ammonia is there,
commingled with perfume Of chloride or lime;

And Willieiis lingering out in the street.

And hoping his mother won't ask him to scrub;
white father, dear father, stays down at his club
For only person with patience sublime
Can stick around home when It's housekeeping

Oh, dtlstpans and buckets and brushes galore;
And mops, brooms and scrubbing rags clutter the
floor.

And All that you get you must rustic yourself
The clcthesinesare ging with blankets and such.
And mattresses fill the whole yard. pretty much,
THE fufnltnre's piled in sort OF a heap;
THERE'S no place to sit and there's place to sleep
And Wise people flee to come far, foreign cline,
And stay there till after it's housekeeping time!
