A little song to start the week off

Janitor’s Song

(Sung to the tune of "I know an old lady who swallowed a fly")

Lyrics by Wayne and Laurel Johnson

I know an ol’ lady

Who cleans at night.

With all her might,

She cleans at night.

But that’s all right!

I know an ol’ lady

Who earns her pay.

That’s the way,

She earns her pay.

But that’s all right!

Chorus:

To earn her pay

She cleans at night.

With all her might,

She cleans at night.

But that’s all right!

I know an ol’ lady

Who scrubs the bowl.

O what a toll,

To scrub the bowl.

But that’s all right!

Chorus:

She scrubs the bowl

To earn her pay.

To earn her pay

She cleans at night.

With all her might,

She cleans at night.

But that’s all right!

I know an ol’ lady

Who wipes the glass.

With a single pass,

She wipes the glass.

But that’s all right!

Chorus:

She wipes the glass

Then scrubs the bowl.

She scrubs the bowl

To earn her pay.

To earn her pay

She cleans at night……..

I know an ol’ lady

Who cleans the sink.

Quick as a wink,

She cleans the sink.

But that’s all right!

Chorus:

She cleans the sink

Then wipes the glass.

She wipes the glass

Then scrubs the bowl.

She scrubs the bowl

To earn her pay……….

I know an ol’ lady

Who mops the floor,

Such a bore,

To mop the floor.

But that’s all right!

Chorus:

She mops the floor

Then cleans the sink.

She cleans the sink

Then wipes the glass…….

I know an ol’ lady

Who washes the wall,

Frame and stall,

She washes the wall.

But that’s all right!

Chorus:

She washes the wall

Then mops the floor.

She mops the floor

Then cleans the sink…..

I know an ol’ lady

Who checks the drain.

What a pain,

To check the drain.

But that’s all right!

Chorus:

She checks the drain

Then washes the wall.

She washes the wall

Then mops the floor……
