I Write the Songs that Make the Whole World Sing?

I have a talent that no one knows of.

But because I love ya, I'm going to share it with you.

I write bathroom jingles. In the bathroom.

Especially when the paint fumes get to be too thick.

Don't judge.

♫Deck the walls with lay'rs of sheetrock,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Don't forget to grab a paint smock,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Don we now our grungy apparel,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Kill the mold and make it sterile,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Paint the Kiltz on the wall before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Attack the rot because we must.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Follow me in broad brush strokes,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Now you know this is no hoax,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Have a timeline, git 'er done,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
If only this were halfway fun,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Off to Lowe's to buy a new toilet,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Then we'll sit and be able to enjoy it,
Fa la la la la, lala la la. ♫
Hey, I didn't say I was a good jingle writer!

You know, that's 2 minutes of your time that you're never getting back.☺

You make my day with that humor of yours! I don't even want those two minutes back. I've wasted two hours on movies MUCH worse. Those hours, I have wanted back. :/
I chose your blog (and you!) to receive an award! You can check it out here.

I loved that jingle and I am SO not looking forward to the same project at some time in the next year!
