Need a Song/Poem to Motivate Flatmates to do Washing Up

Does anyone know any!?

A few days ago my flatmate's aunt came and did all our washing up (what a sweetie!) but now I want to keep it this way! Does anyone know a funny poem or song about washing up that I can stick on the cupboard door above the sink to motivate everyone? :biggrin:

Erm, how about

Washing, washing, washing,
I've got soap on my brush
And I feel like scrubbing you.

If your greasy, dirty,
Just step under the tap
And I'll soap all over you.

Once your clean and sparkling,
have a rinse of cold
And I'll leave you out to drain.

Then I'll buff you nicely
With a clean tea towel
And put you right away.

Sung to the tune of Yummy, yummy, yummy, I've got love in my tummy....

I put some Pantera on in the kitchen, that usually motivates me :biggrin:

ive got a rifle trained to the back of head, wash up or else?

or -
When we on simple rations sup
How easy is the washing up!
But heavy feeding complicates
The task by soiling many plates.

And though I grant that I have prayed
That we might find a serving-maid,
I'd scullion all my days I think,
To see Her smile across the sink!

I wash, she wipes. In water hot
I souse each pan and dish and pot;
While Taffy mutters, purrs, and begs,
And rubs himself against my legs.

The man who never in his life
Has washed the dishes with his wife
Or polished up the silver plate--
He still is largely celibate.

One warning: there is certain ware
That must be handled with all care:
The Lord Himself will give you up
If you should drop a willow cup!
:p:

verse three should work

Do that song in Mary Poppins :p:

"Just a spponful of sugar makes the medicine go down..."

Or the one in Snow White!

"Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go!"

Or even the one about "whistle while you work"...

If your going for some short and sweet type thing, then how about

Yo flatmates this place is a state,
It doesnt take much effort to wash a ******ing plate.

Do some washing,
You ****ers,
Do some washing.
I might just kill someone,
If you don't do the ****ing washing.
I'd do it with a knife, cept they are all dirty,
cause you guys won't do some washing.
Maybe a frying pan, oh no wait...
Do some washhhhhhing!

Repeat.

To the tune of "you rasie me up" by that irish boyband

When the dishes ain't done and, oh my soul, so dirty;
When sponges come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the washing up bowl,
Until you come and wash awhile with me.

You wash them up, so I can eat from clean plates;
You wash them up, to not annoy me;
I am happy, when the dishes are clean;
You wash them up...
To be less laaazzzzyyyy.

You wash them up, so I can eat from clean plates;
You wash them up, to not annoy me;
I am happy, when the dishes are clean;
You wash them up...
To be less laaazzzzyyyy.

There is no fairy liquid - no life without its scent;
Its new bottle suits ble peter so imperfectly;
But that apple fragrence fills me with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I you need to wash for eternity.

You wash them up, so I can eat from clean plates;
You wash them up, to not annoy me;
I am happy, when the dishes are clean;
You wash them up...
To be less laaazzzzyyyy.

You wash them up, so I can eat from clean plates;
You wash them up, to not annoy me;
I am happy, when the dishes are clean;
You wash them up...
To be less laaazzzzyyyy.

Yes, you wash them up,
To be less damn lazy

:biggrin:

Tune 'Come on Closer'

Come on Closer
Wanna show ya
what i'd like to do

anticipating
i will be wating
for you to make a move

washing dishes
sweet sweet dishes
clean those dirty pans...

now you're satisfied
twinkle in your eye
go to sleep for 10

anticipating
i will be waiting
for you to wake again

etc etc

you'll only understand this if you've heard the song.

An Ode To Washing Up At Work

Written by Anon

I work really hard all day,
My firm employs a cleaner,
But by the mess in the kitchen,
You’d think we’d never seen her.

I know I’m really lazy,
Leaving used stuff in the sink,
And by the early afternoon,
I know it’s gonna stink.

Stink is such a common word,
What I meant to say was ‘hum’,
I guess I need to do the dishes,
Or should I phone my Mum ?

Oh, just stick more on top,
It’s only cups and plates,
Then I’ll go and surf the Net,
Or talk to all my mates.

Everybody leaves it ......
For someone else to do,
But nobody does the washing up,
And that’s including you !

Washing up is easy,
It’s a really simple task,
So put some liquid in the sink,
And shift your lazy a*se !
