Lyrics
I gotta do them dirty dishes
They keep pilin’ up day by day
I gotta do them dirty dishes
I only have to blink
And they’re piled up again in the sink
I gotta do – them – dirty dishes
I gotta wash that dirty laundry
It keeps pilin’ up day by day
I gotta wash that dirty laundry
Runnin’ around with nothin’ to wear
Would give my neighbors quite a scare
I gotta wash – that – dirty laundry.
These dirty chores blues, they got a hold on me
They never go away and just let me be
As soon as I’m done with one dirty chore
Another stares me down, just like it did before!
I got the Dirty Chores Blues
I gotta sweep that filthy floor
It gets muddier ev’ry day
Then I gotta wash that filthy floor
Doesn’t anyone ever wipe their feet
Leave the mud outside where it’s meant to be
I gotta wash – that – filthy floor
I gotta scoop that poopy cat box
My cats fill it up ev'ry day
I gotta scoop that poopy cat box
How I wish those critters of mine
Wouldn’t have to poop so much of the time
I gotta scoop – that – poopy cat box
These dirty chores blues, they got a hold on me
They never go away and just let me be
As soon as I’m done with one dirty chore
Another stares me down, I can’t take it no more!
I got the Dirty Chores Blues
I got the Dirty Chores Blues
I got the Dirty ….. Chores …... Blues …..
