Johnette Downing - Messy Room Blues Lyrics
Well my Mama called to me she said come here childYou know I’ve been telling you for quite awhileI don’t want to have to tell you ‘cause you know what I thinkThose dirty clothes and socks of yours are starting to stinkI’ve got the messy room blues, oo aahI’ve got the messy room blues, oo aahSo tell my friends about it ‘cause I’ve got the bluesTell my friends about it ‘cause I’ve got the bluesWell if I don’t clean my room I can’t go outsideSo I start looking around for places to hideI throw the clothes in the closet and the junk under the rugWhen Mama sees my room she’s gonna give me a hugWell I call to my Mama to look at my roomShe took one look and then she gave me a broomShe said, “Don’t play with me ‘cause I’ve been there myself,I used to hide my dirty socks behind the bookshelf.”
