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.

Recordings

An early recording was done by Nadja Hjärne-Ohrberg with Stig Holm's ensamble on 28 September 1945, and the record came out in December the same year.
