I'm Not Doing A Single Thing.

Clean the floor,

Put things away,

Make the bed,

I'm out of my head!

,

Scrub 'til I'm sore,

Because the bathroom's dirty,

No time for the phone,

Now I have to answer the door.

When the kids come home,

It's time to make tea,

The toilet can wait,

Though I need to pee!

And you;

You sit there all day,

Refusing to move,

And you never put,

Your own clothes away.

You leave your hairs in the bath,

Then complain when you feel my wrath.

I have something else to say.

You say that I'm a sleaze,

I do nothing all day,

Eat this!

If you're gonna tell me I'm lazy,

Then,

I'm not doing a single thing.
