Why just kvetch when you can sing?

The Laundry Song

Well, the old may have pains,
and the young may have pimples,
but housework's for all of your days

You may do laundry now,
you may do laundry later,
you may do laundry all of your life

You might hire a maid,
you might hire a butler,
but if you're in debt, you may not

You must mop your own floors,
you must scrub your own bathtubs,
you must do laundry all of your life
