Johnette Downing Messy Room Blues lyrics

Well my Mama called to me she said come here child
You know I've been telling you for quite awhile
I don't want to have to tell you ‘cause you know what I think
Those dirty clothes and socks of yours are starting to stink
I've got the messy room blues, oo aah
I've got the messy room blues, oo aah
So tell my friends about it ‘cause I've got the blues
Tell my friends about it ‘cause I've got the blues
Well if I don't clean my room I can't go outside
So I start looking around for places to hide

I throw the clothes in the closet and the junk under the rug
When Mama sees my room she's gonna give me a hug
Well I call to my Mama to look at my room
She took one look and then she gave me a broom
She said, “Don't play with me ‘cause I've been there myself,
I used to hide my dirty socks behind the bookshelf.”
