Ah, fall cleaning. The time of year when you open the drapes to let the autumn sunlight illuminate the disastrous condition of your home. The smudge from the dropped slushie you told her to clean up three weeks ago. The fingerprints on every wall and window that fingers might reach. The toy store that apparently exploded across the living room the moment your kid got home from school yesterday. The bathing suits and sandbox toys sitting on the front porch– still with the lingering smell (and sand) of your Labor Day vacation.
Let’s not even talk about what’s lurking at the back of the fridge.
But who says cleaning can’t be fun? I’ll put on some good beats and get to it. To help sweeten the deal, here’s one to get me started…with apologies to Ke$ha. But not too many.
Tik Tok (Mommy version)
Wake up in the morning feeling kinda giddy
Toys and clothes are everywhere the house looks sh***y
Short on sleep
Mess knee-deep
Need a plan of attack
Cuz somehow or another
I ™m takin ™ my life back
I ™m talkin ™ hair in a ponytail, tail
Sortin ™ the backlogged mail, mail
Piles for the garage sale, sale
Break out my spray and start to scrub, scrub
Mold growin ™ on the tub, tub
Givin ™ this place the rub ¦
Don't stop
Grab the mop
Momma's cleanin ™ up this house
Tonight
I ™mma fight
Sweep the crap outta sight
Tick tock
On the clock
But I ain't gonna stop, yo
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
(2x)
Can't see the floor for the toys, but the vacuum's right here,
Ain't got my keys, cuz I lost ™em, but they gotta be here
And now the germs they're all scared, cuz they hear I got bleach
And I ™m wipin ™ ™em out as far as I can reach
I ™m talkin ™ bout everythin ™ gettin ™ washed, washed
Windex gettin ™ sloshed, sloshed
Clutter is gonna get tossed, tossed
Now gonna clean til the mess is rid, rid
Or it's time to pick up my kid, kid
Time to get my kid, kid
(Kid and more mess.)
Don't stop
Grab the mop
Momma's cleanin ™ up this house
Tonight
I ™mma fight
Sweep the crap outta sight
Tick tock
On the clock
But I ain't gonna stop, yo
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
(2x)
Oh kid, you make this mess
I clean it up
My heart it pounds
Yet I still love you
You got my heart
Your hugs make up
You got my love
Yeah, you got me
You make this mess
I clean it up
My heart it pounds
Yeah I still love you
You got my heart
I got your heart
You got me
But the next cleaning session you're gonna help me
Don't stop
Grab the mop
Momma's cleanin ™ up this house
Tonight
I ™mma fight
Sweep the crap outta sight
Tick tock
On the clock
But I ain't gonna stop, yo
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
