Oh weary Mother, rolling dough,
Don’t you wish that food would grow?
How happy all the world would be
With a Cookie bush, and a doughnut tree.

Thank God for dirty dishes,
They have a tale to tell;
While other folks go hungry,
We’re eating very well.
With Home and Health and Happiness,
We shouldn’t want to fuss.
For by this stack of evidence,
God’s very good to us.
