Come, my little friends As we all sing a happy little working song Merry little voices clear and strong Come and roll your sleeves up So to speak, and pitch in Cleaning crud up in the kitchen As we sing along Trill a cheery tune in the tub As we scrub a stubborn mildew stain Pluck a hairball from the shower drain To that gay refrain of a happy working song We'll keep singing without fail Otherwise we'd spoil it Hosing down the garbage pail And scrubbing up the toilet, ooh How we all enjoy letting loose With a little la-da-dum-dum-dum While we're emptying the vacuum up It's such fun to hum a happy working song Ooh, a happy working song Oh, how strange a place to be 'Til Edward comes for me My heart is sighing Still, as long as I am here I guess a new experience Could be worth trying Hey, keep trying You can do a lot when you got Such a happy working tune to hum While you're sponging up the soapy scum We adore each filthy chore that we determine So friends, even though you're vermin We're a happy working throng Singing as we fetch the detergent box For the smelly shirts and the stinky socks Sing along, if you cannot sing, then hum along As we're finishing our happy working song Ah, wasn't this fun?
