Basically Cinderella Lyrics by The Beanies

Silly Songs for Smarty-Pantses

0

Sweep, sweep, sweep
Mop, mop, mop
Clean, clean, clean
Life’s so unfair!
I’m basically Cinderella!
Lah, lah, la-la-lah
Lah, lah, lah, la-la-lah
Every night and every day
I’m forced to put my toys away
Playing with my puzzle pieces
Means my toil just increases
Made to pack away my blocks
Pairing all my mismatched socks
Folding freshly laundered clothes
This is not the life I chose!
But if you turn that frown upside down
And just slap on a smile
You’ll find it’s very simple
Only takes a little while
If you worked instead of singing
You’d be very nearly done
So let’s get started! Grab a broom
And-
OH THAT IS NO FUN!
Sweep, sweep, sweep
Mop, mop, mop
Clean, clean, clean
Woe is me!
I’m basically Cinderella!
Lah, lah, la-la-lah
Lah, lah, lah, la-la-lah
Muddy footprints on the wall
How’d they get here? Can’t recall
Smelly tea towels used to dry
The dirty dishes, mountains high
Putting lids of markers on
Where’s the cap for this one gone?
Cleaning glitter, can’t be done
This ain’t my idea of fun!
But you when make a mess while having fun
There’s cleaning to be -
NO!
(Sweep, sweep, sweep)
If you started cleaning stopped complaining
(Mop, mop, mop)
This whole affair would be less draining
(Wash, wash, wash)
If you don’t clean it, I will have to
(Clean, clean, clean)
Who do you think cleans this house?
The cleaning fairy doesn’t live here!
Every night and every day
(Turn that frown upside down)
I’m forced to put my toys away
(And just slap on a smile)
Playing with my puzzle pieces
(You’ll find it’s very simple)
Means my toil just increases
(Only takes a little while)
Made to pack away my blocks
(If you worked instead of singing)
Pairing all my mismatched socks
(You’d be very nearly done)
Folding freshly laundered clothes
(So let’s get started! Grab a broom)
This is not the life I chose!
(Then you can have some fun!)
Sweep, sweep, sweep
Mop, mop, mop
Clean, clean, clean
I’m basically Cinderella!
