THE LYSOL BLUES


Where have all my friends gone
What can I do to bring them back
Where oh where are my dog and cat
I feel so lost and alone, I opened up the door
And the neighbors ran from the smell
Coming from the wind blown
  Out from my home
chorus
I been sprayin'
and prayin'
gallons of Lysol I have been buyin'
losing this smell is so tryin'
I got the lysol blues
Searchin' for the source
Of this stench is taking a long course
No one will help me
I am so filled with remorse
No one will come near me
The smell has invaded  my clothes
My hair, even my bath robe
Why has this happened to me
Momma oh Momma what can it be
chorus
I been sprayin'
and prayin'
gallons of Lysol I have been buyin'
losing this smell is so tryin'
I got the lysol blues
I may have the answer
If I do I will become a happy dancer
I peered beneath my refrigerator today
To give that hidden place a good spray
I saw the problem way back in the dark
  A moldy tater had chosen that place to park
chorus
I been sprayin'
and prayin'
gallons of Lysol I have been buyin'
losing this smell is so tryin'
I got the lysol blues
I sprayed and I prayed
I heaved and I shoved
That fridge just won't budge!
What can I do now
Where will I turn
To the internet is my last hope
To rid myself of this moldy tater
It is the only thing left to me
Oh please bring me a train full of help
I just can't cope!
chorus
I been sprayin'
and prayin'
gallons of Lysol I have been buyin'
losing this smell is so tryin'
I got the lysol blues

I posted an ad in Craigs List
The one place I knew that they would get my jist
"Please come to the rescue!"
"I found a moldy potato under my fridge"
ohhhhhhh ....

I been sprayin'
and prayin'
gallons of lysol I been buyin'
losing this smell in so tryin'
I got the lysol blues
They came  and they dug out that moldy tater
They heaved and shoved and ran the water hose
I sprayed and I prayed
I mopped and I sprayed
Then I opened up the door
And my neighbors sniffed the air
They came  to give me a hug
But left until I sprayed the living room rug
Happiest of days are now mine
Even my dog and my cat I did find
I had a smile on my face..
until..
I opened the bill from the cleaning crew
Now I sing a new song about a different kind of blues
I got the bankruptcy court bluessssssssss!

AHHHHA....
