What does it take? br br I ask this question br Nearly every day br br What does it take br To get you br To put your things away? br br To pick up socks br From couch cushions br And books from where they lie... br br To pick up clothes br On bathroom floor br And deliver them to place nearby... br br To place books neatly br On their shelves br And not just throw them br To to the wolves... br br To take snack dishes br To the sink br And rinse out glasses br From your drink... br br To put toys br Where they're meant to be br God...I pray... br Spare sanity! ! ! br br br What does it take? ? br This I ask... br It's really not br A horrid task! ! ! br br We've played the sorting games br And we've sung the tidying songs br I've labelled and I've sorted br Rights from wrongs br br It's like pulling teeth br Everyday br To get you br To put stuff away! ! br br What does it take? br It seems so strange... br Perhaps it's me br Who needs to change...
