Mop Bucket Blues

كلمات الأغنية

[Verse 1] Clock in, clip on Blue scrubs, name badge Room six is already wild I take a breath, roll bag Gloves on, spray down Paper towels stacked Some days start with chart notes This one starts with that [Pre-Chorus] I hear the call light I know the drill Head down, keep moving Pay the bills [Chorus] Mop bucket blues (mop bucket blues) Floor gone clean by noon Mop bucket blues (mop bucket blues) I do what I gotta do Mop bucket blues (mop bucket blues) One more wipe, one more pass Mop bucket blues (mop bucket blues) Then I grab another trash [Verse 2] Shoes by the doorway Wet floor sign up Gloves crack, mask fogs But I don’t give up Slow is smooth Clean edges first Wipe, bag, seal, breathe Make the day less worse [Pre-Chorus] Call the sitter Turn the mattress down Keep my face calm Keep my voice low down [Chorus] Mop bucket blues (mop bucket blues) Floor gone clean by noon Mop bucket blues (mop bucket blues) I do what I gotta do Mop bucket blues (mop bucket blues) One more wipe, one more pass Mop bucket blues (mop bucket blues) Then I grab another trash [Bridge] A cracked joke at the nurses’ station A sip of water in the hall A tired hand on my shoulder Saying, “You handled all that, all” [Final Chorus] Mop bucket blues (mop bucket blues) Floor gone clean by noon Mop bucket blues (mop bucket blues) I do what I gotta do Mop bucket blues (mop bucket blues) One more wipe, one more pass Mop bucket blues (mop bucket blues) Yeah, I make it through at last
