The First Lady Perry Como

(She's the first lady, she's the first lady
She's the first lady of the land!)

She might have been a teacher
A job that she'd adore...
She might have been a housewife
A wife and nothing more!
She might have been an actress
Who might have played broadway!
But my husband had to be president (hmm...)
And what am I today?

I'm the "first" lady of the land
The "first" lady of the land
Standing on a receiving line
Winding up with an aching spine
Calluses on my receiving hand
As the "first" lady of the land!

For every week a different hairdo
Which means another dress
Those meetings with committees
And sparing with the "press"
Those dreary formal dinners
When I stay up 'till dawn
Counting all the silver
When the guests have gone!
