Lyrics:
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 Puttering all around the house A maid? A maid A maid A maid Everybody ought to have a maid Everybody ought to have a serving-girl A loyal and unswerving girl To putter around the house Oh, oh, Think of her at the dustbin 'Specially when she's just been Traipsing about Oh, oh, Wouldn't she be delightful Living in, Giving out Everybody ought to have a maid Daintily collecting bits of paper n' strings, Appealing in her apron strings Being only in her Blouse Pattering through the attic Chattering in the cellar Clattering in the kitchen Flattering in the bedroom Puttering all around the house The house The house The house A maid? A maid A maid A maid Everybody ought to have a maid Someone who's efficient and reliable Obedient and pliable, And quieter than a mouse Oh, oh, wouldn't she be so nimble, Fiddling with her thimble Mending her gown Oh, oh, wouldn't she be delightful Cleaning up Leaning down Everybody ought to have a maid, Someone who'll be busy as a bumblebee And even if you grumble, be As graceful as a grouse Wriggling in the anteroom Jiggling in the living room Giggling in the dining room Wiggling in the other rooms Puttering all around the house The house The house The house
