Hey hey hey hey hey
Do the housework

Oh I feel like, like I go to work everyday
But where I work, where I work I don't get paid
Work in school and learnin' the, learnin' the supposed rule
But in the street I make my, my own rules

Mama, she just wanted me to do my homework, workin' slow
But when I get home mama left a note, do the housework
So when I'm done, when I'm done with my chores
I go outside and I learn some, learn some more

Hey hey hey hey
Wash them cloths, sweep that roof
Cut that lawn, washing the dishes
Hey hey hey hey

So what are you tryin' to say
So what are you tryin' to say
What are you tryin' to say

So what are you tryin' to say
What are you tryin' to say
So what are you tryin' to say

Out in the street I've got friends just like me
Oh pops, pops is gone and mom's workin' 5-6 days a week, yeah
Me and my partners tryin' things just to see what they means
A drink here and a smoke there, what was dirty now is clean, yeah
Mama, mama tryin' but she got to survive

So now I got to get, get a 9 to 5

Do the housework
Do the housework
Do the housework
