Spring cleaning time will soon be here,
On this I'm most emphatic,
Then everything will be disturbed
From cellar to the attic.
Housewives will don their dust caps then,
To start their overhauling,
And busy brushing cobwebs down,
Or from step ladders falling.
The vacuum cleaners soon will hum,
And dust they will be chasing,
All paintwork will be washed so clean,
The doors, the walls and casing.
The pantry shelves will all be cleaned,
The pie plates and the custard,
And everything put back in place
From pepper pots to mustard.
The winter woolies will be stored
With moth balls in the closets,
To keep the pesky little moths
From leaving their deposits.
House cleaning is a lot of work
As I have here presented,
But when the job it is well done
The housewife sleeps contented.
April, 1944
