to the tune of Knees up Mother Brown.
Grandma used to do
Do the brass on the old front door
Got down on her knees and washed the floor
She ironed all the clothes
And hung them on the door
Used to, used to
Each week she did do
Grandma used to do
Got down on her knees and washed the floor
She ironed all the clothes
And hung them on the door
Used to, used to
Each week she did do
Grandma used to do
Oh my, now my turn to do
It's my turn to do
It's my turn to do
It's my turn to do
It's my turn to do
Oh my, Grandma will be proud
I make sure all is sparkling
I make sure all is sparkling
Too-oo-ooh
Here are the original words
Knees up Mother Brown Knees up Mother Brown Under the table you must go Ee-aye, Ee-aye, Ee-aye-oh If I catch you bending I'll saw your legs right off Knees up, knees up Never get the breeze up Knees up Mother Brown Oh my, what a rotten song What a rotten song What a rotten song Oh my, what a rotten song And what a rotten singer Too-oo-ooh
And here they are sung. Warning: only play the first part of this video if you want to remain of sound mind!

ReplyDeleteIf you do your own housework (with love and attention), you will never need to go to a gym. Housework is gym in itself :)
ReplyDeleteYou've been very busy.
