Momma dragged Lindy Lou to a party
Being held at Momma's Aunt Stella's
The young girl knew she was going to be bored 
At a party without any fellas



Lindy Lou never cared much for housework
Momma's heart filled with frustration
Her only interest was in chasing boys
Much to her Momma's consternation



The girl half-heartedly stitched the quilt
And kept pricking her fingers with the needle
But Momma was determined she'd learn to sew
No matter how much Lindy Lou wheedled



Smelling something delicious from the kitchen
And anxious to see what was cooking
Lindy saw her chance and stole away
When she knew the women weren't looking



Following her nose to the kitchen
Lindy quietly opened the door
When she saw a fella standing at the stove
Her dimpled chin almost hit the floor



With a few shy questions, she found out
He was a friend of Stella's girl, Dot
'Twas love at first sight for the couple
Within a month, they had tied the knot



Since Lindy Lou married her dream man
She doesn't have to sew or cook
Hubby cooks and Momma does the sewing
And that's really Okay in her book
