The Clean Room Song

Written for and sung to my two young boys for purposes of encouragement.

.

In your room under your bed

Lives a mean red fox

Who feet first clings

To the mattress springs

And lives on dirty sox.

.

He likes to eat fuzz balls and things

That are not put away

Coats and toys

And corduroy

And things in disarray

.

(Chorus)

The more he eats the bigger he grows

If he gets to big, he'll bite off your toes

And your fingers too, and even your head

If you let them dangle over the bed..

.

His favorite snack is little boy's slacks

Thrown on a heap on the floor

He loves to chew on discarded shoes

And feeding him makes him want more

.

(Insert Chorus)

.

So clean your room and pick up your clothes

And starve the mean fox dead

So when you sleep, you can let your feet

Hang over the foot of the bed.

So that you can keep your right hand

So that your head will not be fed

To the fox your blood makes red

Living under your bed.
