This modern young woman won't live in a shoe / And although she has kiddies she knows what to do / Shredded Wheat for your breakfast / My darlings! Cries she / And you will grow strong / Same and Mum, Dad and Me! - with illustrations of a lady in a shoe and children around the outside of the circle in the background, with the price of 8D.
