Lyrics for Mr. Clean

Daylight dawns You wake up and yawn Mr. Clean A piece of toast From the one you love most And you leave You catch your bus In the eight o'clock rush And catch your train In the morning rain Mr. Clean Mr. Clean If you see me In the street Look away 'Cause I don't ever want to catch you Looking at me Mr. Clean 'Cause I hate you And your wife And if I get the chance I'll fuck up your life Mr. Clean Mr. Clean Is that seen? Surround yourself with dreams Of pretty young girls And anyone you want, but Please don't forget me Or any of my kind 'Cause I'll make you think again When I stick your face in the grind Getting pissed At the annual office do A smart blue suit And you went to Cambridge too You miss Page 3 But The Times is right for you And Mum and Dad Are very proud of you Mr. Clean Mr. Clean Mr. Clean Mr. Clean
