The Lyrics

Friday night you cleaned up my room
Saturday you swept with a broom
Sunday all you did was watch tv
I was resting for a while
Trying not to cramp my style
And I enjoyed my weekend for a change
I did not have to do the dishes
I did not answer all your wishes
Even left my plate out in the living room
You said to make my bed
But I looked away and fled
And you said my room looked like a pig sty

You may be right
I may be lazy
Oh but what can I say
I'm a teen, thats what I'm here for
I don't take no bribes
No you can't pay me
You are my mom and you might be wrong
But you may be right.

Remember back when I was young
I used to help to get it done
But now I'm just as lazy as can be
I don't care to help around
I'll just lay here on the ground
I can try to clean the floors while I'm down here you see
Sometimes I get the urge to clean
But most the time, it's just a dream
I might be just as lazy as you say
Sometimes I try to satisfy you
By dusting off some bookshelves by you
But you don't want it any other way

You may be right
I may be lazy
Oh but what can I say
I'm a teen, thats what I'm here for
I don't take no bribes
No you can't pay me
You are my mom and you might be wrong
But you may be right.

You may be right
I may be lazy
Oh but what can I say
I'm a teen, thats what I'm here for
I don't take no bribes
No you can't pay me
You are my mom and you might be wrong
But you may be right.
You are my mom and you might be wrong
But you may be right.

We may be related. If not, we certainly have something in common. Call me at (908) PARODEE. (Just a joke, people. Whoever has that number in real life would not appreciate a call.)

It was funny. But the pacing was way off in some parts
