Housework Blues (aka laughin'woman's blues)


I got bats in my belfry
and spiders on the wall
laundry heaped and wilted
and dishes that call....
I call the dust my friend
I'm even scared by the sight
I got the housework blues
yeah my digs are a fright

well my mama tried she did
but I never ever ever embraced it
I ran from the daily duties
in my fuzzy wuzzy lazy daizy
flip flop booties

I married a man,
he was messier than me
yes I married the man
to see what I could see
I saw a dishrag , mop and a vaccume long
soon i did skee-daddle
an now I sing you this song

find a man who's tidy
and likes you as you are
find a man who duzzn't care
you keep bats in a jar..
treat him right ladies
you know what I mean
maybe you'll get lucky
and your place will get clean

well my mama tried, she did
but I never ever embraced it
I ran from the daily duties
in my fuzzy wuzzy, lazy daizy
flip flop booties

well the moral of the story
this here house work blues
when you can see the floor again
you might find your shoes
get up and off your lazy ass
but don't dare look for me
I'm doin the fuzzy wuzzy dash,
boy,
a streak is all you'll see

well my mama tried, she did
but I never ever ever embraced it
I ran from the daily duties
in my fuzzy wuzzy lazy daizy
flip flop booties

housework all day long
turns me shade of blue
housework all the night
boy, what are ya gonna do?

Songs like this can rarely be found these days! When I say songs like this I don't mean to imply that there exists any other song like this one.... just that a person normally has to go back nearly a century to find songs about everyday life. The kind of songs people wrote because they wanted to express what was going on in their lives rather than write songs designed to become what record companies call hits. Fantastic! 5 stars!!!

Thanks Rolland!,.trubble is, mine songs ring true sometimes, which says not too much for my housekeeping!:-),..my greatest joy is simply knowing somebody heard it and maybe even cracked a smile, where there was none before..it happens to me, here,....music is medicinal, in both playing and listening.Sincerely, Laurie.

PS.I plan to get back to your channel, so keep uploads happenin'--- it takes a while to get acquainted after signing on, but you will find many MANY wonderful folks here.....:-)

[profwaldo]

@poundsounds2009 - You accidently sent this comment to me and since you did here's my opinion on the mirror. I know your comment was mirrorly constructive criticism but I think the mirror bein' seen works very well as most of her songs are more often than not, reflections of herself. Just my humble opinion of course, take care. :-)

[poundsounds2009]
