Official Lyrics[]
Baseball: Is he seriously making us do this now?
Nickel: *sigh* OJ just thinks he's so clever.
- Knife: There's NO way I'm doing this!!!
Soap: Come on guys, don't argue.
I don't want to force you!
It's a gift from the heavens,
Don't you agree?
Baseball: How can you say that?
But no time for chit-chat.
Let's just get this work done
And finally be free!
Soap: Cleaning’s my life,
And when I’m feeling down.
Scrubbing the floors always removes a frown!
The window panes reflect the struggles in my life
I’ll make a new path and wash away my strife!
Nickel: Argh, there better not be another verse!
Cherries: Brace yourself! It's coming!
Marshmallow: New paths, oh what’s the use, just give me a break!
Old friends will still leave distress in their wake.
Paintbrush: Everyone seems lazy,
while I’m going crazy,
To clean up the mess that others will leave.
Fan: But what we do's inconsequent,
I learned that from the Internet!
OJ: No question I’m a nicer host,
I don’t mean to boast!
Soap: No one needs to like you if you like yourself
Just brush off your hardships and wipe them from the shelf
Sometimes the outside world just feels so demeaning
But it doesn’t close in if you just keep on cleaning!

- According to Taylor Grodin, the song’s lyrics were changed several times.
- Paintbrush's line was originally "New paths, oh sure, right, just give me a break! When our leader left total chaos in her wake. Everyone seems lazy while I’m going crazy. Please anyone I need help desperately!"
