I’m putting my laundress foot down. It seems that my precious children are too bothered to put their clothes away after I’ve washed, dried and folded them and in my book that is the epitome of laziness. They have betrayed the Ancient Chinese Secret.
I’m officially on a laundry strike and to honor this occasion I have written new lyrics to Pink’s song: Get The Party Started.
Feel free to sing my new Irrational Anthem.
(laughter)
I’m…gonna ground you if you cannot get the laundry started.
I’m…gonna ground you if you cannot get the laundry started.
Get the laundry started on Saturday morn,
Everybody’s waiting for the towels to get dry.
Sending out the message to all of my kids
We’ll be looking naked with full laundry bins.
I got lots of piles for you to pick up and clean
I can ground for months if you know what I mean…
I’m…gonna ground you if you cannot get the laundry started.
(I’m gonna ground, I’m gonna…)
I’m…gonna ground you if you cannot get the laundry started.
Pumping the detergent is not a great feat
Start the water running, and clean the lint screen
Whites and lights go first, then do the darks last
Or your freedom soon will become a thing of the past.
Fold the clothes the moment they come from the dryer
Because until this is done you may not retire.
I’m…gonna ground you if you cannot get the laundry started.
(I’m gonna ground, I’m gonna…)
I’m…gonna ground you if you cannot get the laundry started.
I’m…gonna ground you if you cannot get the laundry started.
(I’m gonna ground, I’m gonna…)
I’m…gonna ground you if you cannot get the laundry started.
Make a dent in the mountain of the laundry room
Go ahead and get rid of the face of gloom
I’ve been doing this for years without ill effect
But I am growing tired of apparel disrespect
It’s time to pass the torch to my darling offspring
I’m the sole connection to your party time…
I’m…gonna ground you if you cannot get the laundry started.
(I’m gonna ground, I’m gonna…)
I’m…gonna ground you if you cannot get the laundry started.
I’m…gonna ground you if you cannot get the laundry started.
(I’m gonna ground, I’m gonna…)
I’m…gonna ground you if you cannot get the laundry started.
Get this laundry started…
Get this laundry started….RIGHT NOW!
(laughter)
