[FREDERICKA]
Ordinary mothers lead ordinary lives
Keep the house and sweep the parlor
Mend the clothes and tend the children
Ordinary mothers, like ordinary wives
Make the beds and bake the pies
And wither on the vine—
Not mine
Dying by inches
Every night—
What a glamorous life!
Brought on by winches
To recite—
What a glamorous life!
Ordinary mothers never
Get the flowers
And ordinary mothers never
Get the joys
Ordinary mothers couldn't
Cough for hours
Maintaining their poise
Sandwiches only
But she eats
What she wants when she wants
Sometimes it's lonely
But she meets
Many handsome gallants
Ordinary mothers lead ordinary lives
Keep the house and sweep the parlor
Mend the clothes and tend the children
Ordinary mothers, like ordinary wives
Make the beds and bake the pies
And wither on the vine—
Not mine
Dying by inches
Every night—
What a glamorous life!
Brought on by winches
To recite—
What a glamorous life!
Ordinary mothers never
Get the flowers
And ordinary mothers never
Get the joys
Ordinary mothers couldn't
Cough for hours
Maintaining their poise
Sandwiches only
But she eats
What she wants when she wants
Sometimes it's lonely
But she meets
Many handsome gallants
