Story Behind The Song
I thought coming up with a song for kids to sing while cleaning their room would make the job a lot more fun! So I wrote one.

Lyrics
THE CLEAN-UP BOOGIE
My room's a mess
Mom says, "Get it clean."
That makes me mad,
I think she's mean!
I could whistle and work,
Or grumble and complain,
It doesn't matter,
Gotta do it just the same!
Gotta make it fun,
Gotta get it done,
If I finish quick,
I can play and run!
Do the Clean-Up Boogie---
The Clean-Up Boogie.
Do the Clean-Up Boogie---
The Clean-Up Boogie.
Jitter with my pillow,
Tango with my sheet!
Hurry up fast,
Make this room neat!
Shut the drawer,
Grab the toys off the floor,
Twist to the toy-box
Behind the door!
Take the dust mop,
Make it cha-cha all around,
Make it clean up high,
Make it boogie on the ground!
(REFRAIN)
Shake the mop to the left,
Shake the mop to the right
Sweep those cobwebs
Out of sight!
Smooth out the covers
Clean up the shelf,
Almost finished--
I did it all myself!
If you dance while you clean
It makes your work light.
Then Mom's real happy,
Your room's a cool sight!
(REFRAIN)
