The House
I declare
I'm cleanin this nasty ass house!
Where did everybody go?
Now I gotta little time to myself
I'm gonna push it
I'm puttin on my music
And I'm gonna.......
I'm gonna sway as I spray
I'm gonna dust as I bust
OUT!
I'm alone and I'm gonna clean
things are gonna gleam
I'll polish the glass
while I'm shakin my ass
I move my vacuum
back and forth
like a lover
that has no other
I'm gonna use him like me
I need my mop
to tell me STOP!
take a cigarette break
But the floors never leave me alone
Oh, and washing machine, dryer
no, you're not fired!
I'll get to you as soon as I can
You're lucky to have a job
Appliances crying out for my help
We need electricity
We need water
Well, so do I!
And I need sleep
I need... some sense
and a maid?
