Looking for lyrics to Queen of the House. It was a takeoff on Roger Miller's King of the Road, but I don't know who recorded it.

Bert,

Sorry I don't have the lyrics, but it was recorded by Jody Miller. Both songs are contained in a Bear FAmily 3 volume set called "....And The Answer Is" . There must be 50 or so sets of originals and the answers in the 3 volumes. They had their heyday in the 30's-50's and fortunately most are pretty much forgotten and there aren't many folks trying to create new ones.

QUEEN OF THE HOUSE
Recorded by Jody Miller
Words and music by Roger Miller and Mary Taylor

Up every day at six
Bacon and Eggs to fix
Four kids from One to Four
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

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 evening's through
He comes 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

Up every day at six
Bacon and Eggs to fix
Four kids from One to Four
Pretty soon there'll be one more

But, Sundays I'm mighty glad
We send the kids to his Mom and Dad
It's a day that makes me glad
I'm Queen of the House
