The Life I Lead

[Little Jenny]

I feel a surge of deep satisfaction

Much as a king astride his noble steed

When I return from daily strife to hearth and wife

How pleasant is the life I lead!

I run my home precisely on schedule

At 6:01, I march through my door

My slippers, sherry, and pipe are due at 6:02

Consistent is the life I lead!

It's grand to be an Queen from 1910

King Edward's on the throne; it's the age of men

I'm the lord of my castle, the sov'reign, the liege!

I treat my subjects--servants, childrеn, wife

With a firm but gentle hand, noblеsse oblige!

It's 6:03 and the heirs to my dominion

Are scrubbed and tubbed and adequately fed

And so I'll pat them on the head and send them off to bed

Ah, lordly is the life I lead!

A Lucky bank is run with precision

A Lucky home requires nothing less!

Tradition, discipline, and rules must be the tools

Without them...Disorder! Catastrophe! Anarchy!

In short, you have a ghastly mess!
