31 Mar 99 - 12:49 AM (#67003) Subject: RE: Queen of the House-Lyric request From: catspaw49 Sexist, chauvinistic claptrap!!! Like running a house and raising the kids is a big deal. Any one in the business world could work a housewife's job in during a coffee break. People in sales have 100 times more pressure, factory people do 25 times more work. All of them come home to house where their spouse bitches about a few piddling errands and the schools and shopping and the Dr. and the Dentist...and on and on. WHOOPEE. I'm sick of hearing about the plight of the housewife. I mean like if they were as efficient as most business people they'd be done within a VERY short time and have nothing to do but lay around the rest of the day! But no, it just is so tiring....blah blah blah. Really sexist and chavinistic BULLSH*T!!!!!!! catspaw, HouseHusband...worn out all the time. |

31 Mar 99 - 01:08 PM (#67096) Subject: Lyr Add: QUEEN OF THE HOUSE (parody, King of the R From: Gene QUEEN OF THE HOUSE Recorded by Jody Miller Words and music by Roger Miller and Mary Taylor CHORUS Up every day at six Bacon and Eggs to fix Four kids from 1 to 4 Pretty soon there'll be one more. I got four floors to wax and scrub And there's a dirty old ring in the tub I'll get a maid some-day But, til then, I'm Queen of the House. No time to fix my hair Need a new dress to wear Old clothes will have to do 'Cause the kids all need new shoes. I got bridge club each Tuesday night He's goes out with the boys and gets tight But when the evenin's through He comes a-home to the Queen of the House. I know the milkman, the iceman, they come every day They give me tips on the horses to play And when I've got the time to spare I sit and wish I'd that I'd picked a rich millionaire. I sing: Up every day at six Bacon and Eggs to fix Four kids from 1 to 4 Pretty soon there'll be one more. I got four floors to wax and scrub And there's a dirty old ring in the tub I'll get a maid someday But, til then, I'm Queen of the House. Repeat chorus and fade. |

One more question - does anyone know when those two songs, Queen of the House, and King of the Road were written? Was it the seventies? I checked out COWPIE, but didn't see a copyright date.... |

31 Mar 99 - 05:57 PM (#67147) Subject: RE: Queen of the House-Lyric request From: Molly Thanks again catspaw 49. How do you ever find time to get on the internet, being a househusband and all? Oh, that's right. You get it all done early, then laze around the rest of the day (kind of like self-employed, work at home people like myself...) Ha, ha, ha...Thanks!! |
