Spoon Jar

      Wash that god damn spoon jar!
           It needs it -
           it really does,
      If you don't wash the
           god damn spoon jar,
      it won't get done.
      It doesn't wash itself
           you know;
      it doesn't weigh a ton.

      The spoon jar's waiting for you -
           it wants a scubbing
           it wants a rinsing
           it wants a drying-out.

      Clean that spoon jar!
      clean that spoon jar!
           Do it!
           Do it!

      Clean the spoon jar!
      Clean it on the run -
      clean it behind your back -
      clean it on your head -
      Attack the spoon jar -
           Have some fun!

      And when you're done
      clap your hands.
      The spoon jar will be happy!
           (we all will be happy)
      The spoon jar's clean -
      the spoon jar sparkles -
      the spoon jar's full
           of smiling spoons -
      You'd smile too
      if the spoon jar would clean you.
