Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB CDEDFD GHIHDH JDKDL| Queen of my tub I merrily sing | A |
| While the white foam raises high | B |
| And sturdily wash and rinse and wring | A |
| And fasten the clothes to dry | B |
| Then out in the free fresh air they swing | A |
| Under the sunny sky | B |
| - | |
| I wish we could wash from our hearts and our souls | C |
| The stains of the week away | D |
| And let water and air by their magic make | E |
| Ourselves as pure as they | D |
| Then on the earth there would be indeed | F |
| A glorious washing day | D |
| - | |
| Along the path of a useful life | G |
| Will heart's ease ever bloom | H |
| The busy mind has no time to think | I |
| Of sorrow or care or gloom | H |
| And anxious thoughts may be swept away | D |
| As we busily wield a broom | H |
| - | |
| I am glad a task to me is given | J |
| To labor at day by day | D |
| For it brings me health and strength and hope | K |
| And I cheerfully learn to say | D |
| 'Head you may think heart you may feel | L |
| But hand you shall work always ' | - |
