“You can buy anything at Wal-mart.”
[SENEX]
Everybody ought to have a maid,
Everybody ought to have a working girl,
Everybody ought to have a lurking girl
To putter around the house.
Everybody ought to have a maid,
Everybody ought to have a menial
Consistantly congenial
And quieter than a mouse.
Oh, oh, wouldn’t she be delicious,
Tidying up the dishes,
Neat as a pin.
Oh, oh, wouldn’t she be delightful,
Sweeping out,
Sleeping in.
Everybody ought to have a maid,
Someone who you hire when you’re short of help
To offer you the sort of help
You never get from a spouse:
Fluttering up the stairway,
Shuttering up the windows,
Cluttering up the bedroom,
Buttering up the master,
Puttering all around the house!
Oh, oh, wouldn’t she be delicious,
Tidying up the dishes,
Neat as a pin.
Oh, oh, wouldn’t she be delightful,
Sweeping out,
Sleeping in.
Everybody ought to have a maid,
Someone who in fetching you your slipper will
Be winsome as a whipporwill
And graceful as a grouse:
Skittering down the hallway,
Flittering through the parlor,
Tittering in the pantry,
Littering up the bedroom—

I think when I saw that movie, most of the “good stuff” had been cut. *sigh*
I can identify with the ‘sleeping in’ part, but I am having trouble with the rest of it.
Rrrod was pointing out yesterday that one can find lots of illegal aliens at Wal-mart. I was thinking of getting one to do some yardwork, now that we’ve had all this rain.
Up to about 2” total now.
