text: # Kungens lilla piga
  
  Kungens lilla piga is a children's song written by Anna-Lisa Frykman (1889-1960), describing a working day for a young housemaid girl working at the royal court.
  
  The 1943 "Nu ska vi sjunga" Elsa Beskow illustration shows a little girl acting as the housemaid. Later, the song has been criticized for glorifying child labour.
