Listen boy, I don't want you see you let a clean house
get away

and I know I don't like seeing anybody
have a dirty house today

she's a real nice girl,
and she's nice and never mean
but a nice girl will not crab when told to clean...

listen boy, I'm sure that you think that she cleaned it
up off of the floor

but there's dust up here, and an empty beer,
and some bunnies by the door

you're a big man now,
you'll never let this go
and it's just the thing
this woman has to know

tell her to clean it,
and while she's at it get some beer
give her every reason to make quick
and get it here

tell her about it,
and don't listen if she screams
let her know that you are the
man of all her dreams

listen boy it's not automatic that she'll clean it perfectly
to insure she does
you've got to provide some motivation constantly

you can rub her ears and pat her on the head
and when she's not nice, just send her right off to bed

tell her to clean it,
and to mop up all that hair
when she can't be with you,
she can sit down over there

tell her to clean it
every day before you leave
then your mind will make her feel
like she has some reprieve

cause now and then she'll get to worrying
just because you havent smiled at her for long
and when you see that she's cleaned everything
will that be for consideration or she's gone

listen boy, it's good information from a man
who's thrown out an ex
it's the word or two that she hears from you
it's the best thing that she gets

with her magic mop,
she's done a thrust or two
and a girl like her should always know what to do

tell her to clean it,
and while she's at it get some beer
give her every reason to make quick
and get it here

tell her about it,
and don't listen if she screams
let her know that you are the
man of all her dreams

tell here to clean it
tell her on her knees right now
tell her to clean it
say it won't take too long
Tell her to clean it
You got to tell her to clean it
Tell her now and you won't go wrong
You got to tell her to clean it
Before it gets too late
You got to tell her to clean it
You know the girl don't want
To wait--you got to
Tell her to clean it
