Love Sondheim: and thanks, never thought of a butler like that before: [SENEX] Everybody ought to have a maid, Everybody ought to have a working boy, Everybody ought to have a lurking boy To putter around the house. Everybody ought to have a maid, Everybody ought to have a menial Consistantly congenial And quieter than a mouse. Oh, oh, wouldn't he be delicious, Tidying up the dishes, Neat as a pin. Oh, oh, wouldn't he be delightful, Sweeping out, Sleeping in. Everybody ought to have a maid, Someone who you hire when you're short of help To offer you the sort of help You never get from a spouse: Fluttering up the stairway, Shuttering up the windows, Cluttering up the bedroom, Buttering up the Mistress, Puttering all around the house! Oh, oh, wouldn't he be delicious, Tidying up the dishes, Neat as a pin. Oh, oh, wouldn't he be delightful, Sweeping out, Sleeping in.
