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   ...
