Taxes and Bedtime (Mom Loves You Variant)

Verse 1

Lay down

Rest your heavy head

Your apartment smells like unwashed bread

Scrub the kitchen

Mop the floor

Bleach the tiles by the bathroom door

Wash the curtains

Dry the sheets

Clean the mud off your winter cleats

Chorus

Close your eyes

Sweet dreams tonight

While the laundry pile reaches a new height

Sleep now

Deep now

Find your peace

While the grime and the grease never cease

Verse 2

Rake leaves

Bag 'em by the curb

Check the weeds on your potted herb

Call the plumber

Fix the leak

Fix the table that started to squeak

Clean the oven

Dust the shelves

Tasks don't finish by themselves

Empty bins

Sort the glass

Cut the backyard overgrown grass

Chorus

Close your eyes

Sweet dreams tonight

While the laundry pile reaches a new height

Sleep now

Deep now

Find your peace

While the grime and the grease never cease

Post-Chorus

La la la

Scrub it clean

La la la

So much to glean

Bridge

Pay the bill

Pay the bill

Keep your head above the water until you get ill

Check the mail

Check the mail

Sign the forms or you might end up in jail

File the taxes

File the taxes

Calculate the math while your body relaxes

Chorus

Close your eyes

Sweet dreams tonight

While the laundry pile reaches a new height

Sleep now

Deep now

Find your peace

While the grime and the grease never cease

Outro

Did you file them

W-2

Don't forget the return is due

Quiet now

Just sleep

Federal and state interest runs deep
