Stomp your foot upon the floor. Throw the windows open.
Take a breath of fresh June air, and dance around the room.

The air is free, the night is warm,
the music’s here, and here’s my home.

Men must labor to be happy, plowing fields and planting rows.
But ladies love a life that’s easy, churning butter, milking cows.

Churning butter, milking cows, gathering eggs, feeding sows,
mending, cooking, cleaning, ironing, raising families.

Ladies love their fine amusement, putting patches in a quilt,
But men prefer to bend their shoulder to something that will stand when built.

Dancing ladies, making matches, playing games, singing snatches,
Romping, frisking, winking, whistling, raising families.

Stomp your foot upon the floor. Throw the windows open.
Take a breath of fresh June air and dance around the room.
The air is free, the night is warm, the music’s here, and here’s my home.
