If I have to shout it from the rooftops
do not think I won’t
For god’s sake please clean up your mess
or you will be in strife
and
while you’re at it tidy your room
get those clothes up off the floor
move those mouldy half drunk drinks
or I swear you’ll get what for
and
has your toilet seen a brush
remove those empty rolls
and while you’re on the spring clean
I’ll be doing a patrol
and
do you think that’s it’s hygenic
it really isn’t nice, you probably have
dead spiders or hell there could be mice
and
do you think that you could make your bed
even just pretend, tuck the sheets in underneath
or is slapdash the latest trend
and
your bath and basin need a scrub
oh and the shower too
and dusting of your furniture
it’s not that hard to do
and
what about the papers
scattered round the place
do you think they could be neater
or do you need MORE space
and
vacuum the carpet if you please
if you can find your floor
and take the wet towels off the hooks
that are right behind your door
and
NO I shouldn’t have to close your door
so that others will not see
you have to learn to tidy up
and not leave it up to me
and
clear that rubbish from under bed
there’s a wardrobe you can use
it’s built for clothes to hang up
hell it’s even meant for shoes
and
do I have to tell you twice
over and over again
it’s not that hard to tidy up
I’ve been doing it all my life
and
how about opening your curtains
you don’t live in an oubliette
why the dark and dismal room
it’s certainly no retreat
and
when was the last time you ironed
you clothes aren’t wash and wear
or do you like that crinkled look
the one that I can’t bare
and
how about giving me a hand
or do you want to be a sloth
be nice to have can i help you mum
before I start to froth
and
maybe your rooms your hiding spot
where your mess can quietly hide
but believe me if you do not clean
I’ll be spanking your backside!
