I don't want to do the dishes.
I don't want to do the wash.
I sprinkled clothes a week ago,
And now my iron is lost!
I don't want to rattle pots.
I don't want to rattle pans.
I just want to go outside
And play with all my friends!
Oh, the tables need some dusting,
And the floor could sure be mopped.
But I know when I get started
There will be no place to stop!
The closets are so full
Things are falling off the shelves.
I wish for cleaning fairies
And magic little elves.
They could sprinkle fairy dust
And twitch their little nose.
The windows would be sparkling
I would have no dirty clothes.
Oh, I know that I'm just dreaming
My head is in the sky.
I must beat the feather pillows
And bake an apple pie.
The bathroom is a mess,
And the kitchen needs attention.
And what I saw beneath my bed
I am afraid to mention!
I am running around in circles
I am getting nothing done.
I keep thinking of my playmates.
I am missing all the fun!
Well I guess these chores won’t do themselves.
I’d better get to work.
It seems my chores just multiply
The more I try to shirk!!
