Karaoke Track: Everybody Ought To Have A Maid by A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum (Pocket Songs) - Karaoke Nerds

(spoken)
Maids like me. I'm neat.

I like maids. They're neat.
Something no household
Should be without.

Everybody ought to have a maid
(Everybody ought to have a maid)
Everybody ought to have a menial,

Consistently congenial
And quieter than a mouse.

Oh! Oh!
Wouldn't she be delicious,

Tidying up the dishes,
Neat as a pin?

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?

Skittering down the hallway,
Flittering through the parlor,
Jittering in the pantry,
Littering up the bedroom,
Twittering all around, the house!

Everybody ought to have a maid.
Everybody ought

To have a serving girl,
A loyal and unswerving girl,
Who's quieter than a mouse.

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,
And graceful as a grouse.

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.

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 a 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 dining room,
Giggling in the living room,
Wiggling in the other rooms,
Puttering all around

The house,
The house,

The house,
The house!
