Keep It Sweep It Throw It Away
Keep it, sweep it, throw it away.
Box it up, go outside and play.
Bag it, gag it, it is always in your way.
Stop bringing home junk every single day.
The money you spend, will be gone soon enough.
Talk to yourself, and be really tough.
The piles and bags and boxes of stuff
Will be thrown away by your relatives soon enough
And out will go the ruby bracelets and the diamond rings
As they sort through the junk, finding all of your things.
They will not know what to keep, and they will get tired and mean.
So throw it out yourself now, you silly hoarder girl Queen.
