(Chorus)
Momma made me go and rake leaves (leaves)
Clean my dogs fur (clean dog fur)
This whole day was not at all fair
I mopped the floor (I mopped the floor)
Went to the store
Have to do chores, chores, chores, chores, chores, chores, chores, chores
I just sprayed for ants
And I just watered the plants (all the plants)
I did the dishes and I hate all of this crap (hey)
It’s such a bore (it’s such a bore)
Can’t take no more
Have to do chores, chores, chores, chores, chores, chores, chores, chores

My momma woke me up at a quarter to four
Gave me a dustpan and not a ‘hello’
Gave me a few minutes to change and then said ‘lets go’
Made birthday cakes for Grandma Flo
We washed some clothes
And we wrapped the hose, checked house for ghosts
Checked for U.F.O.’s
“Hey mom, wait a minute, can I just get a break?” “NO!”
Then we went out and shoveled snow
I’m outside at 30 below
Body pains, I gotta go slow
Let me stop, I just have to doze
Then we went inside to clean telephones
Under the sink, we found all new unknowns
She piled it on, I can’t take any more
I have some problems, and they are called chores…

She made me go and rake leaves (leaves)
Clean my dogs fur (clean dog fur)
This whole day was not at all fair
I mopped the floor (I mopped the floor)
Went to the store
Have to do chores, chores, chores, chores, chores, chores, chores, chores
I just sprayed for ants
And I just watered the plants (all the plants)
I did the dishes and I hate all of this crap (hey)
It’s such a bore (it’s such a bore)
Can’t take no more
Have to do chores, chores, chores, chores, chores, chores, chores, chores

Hey momma, we cleaned every square inch of this home
My jeans caked with dirt, and they need some sewing
Had to clean the tub and also the throne
Had to mow the grass and lay stepping stones
One list (come on), two lists (come on), three lists (come on)
Now that's not fair
Man I think you’re crazy momma now, you’re insane
And I’m in so much pain
Now I must give a hot bath to our Rover
I wish it was over
No cupcakes or soda until it is over
Made all brand new coasters, searched the lawn for clovers
Can someone help me? I just wish it was over
Had to scrub and clean the toaster
Momma said “Up till October
You’ll do them over and over”
I begged her

Made me rake the leaves (leaves)
Clean my dogs fur (clean dog fur)
This whole day was not at all fair
I mopped the floor (I mopped the floor)
Went to the store
Have to do chores, chores, chores, chores, chores, chores, chores, chores
I just sprayed for ants
And I just watered the plants (all the plants)
I did the dishes and I hate all of this crap (hey)
It’s such a bore (it’s such a bore)
Can’t take no more
Have to do chores, chores, chores, chores, chores, chores, chores, chores

Please mommy, I’ll give you tons of money
All because three weeks back
Did not take out the trash
I wish I took it back
Man this whole day was whack
I filled in every crack
Painted walls white, then black
To my chagrin, I saw her grin
I want to quit, just want to split
It’s just way too boring, she warned me
If I left, she’d be foaming
I asked to stop
She would not
I was up till ten o’ clock
Up at one, I had the mop
When will my mom ever stop?

Momma made me go and rake leaves (leaves)
Clean my dogs fur (clean dog fur)
This whole day was not at all fair
I mopped the floor (I mopped the floor)
Went to the store
Have to do chores, chores, chores, chores, chores, chores, chores, chores
I just sprayed for ants
And I just watered the plants (all the plants)
I did the dishes and I hate all of this crap (hey)
It’s such a bore (it’s such a bore)
Can’t take no more
Have to do chores, chores, chores, chores, chores, chores, chores, chor
