Happy Working Song Lyrics

[GISELLE]
Come my little friends, as we all sing a happy little working song
Merry little voices clear and strong
Come and roll your sleeves up, so to speak, and pitch in
Cleaning crud up in the kitchen
As we sing along
Trill a cheery tune in the tub as we scrub a stubborn mildew stain
Pluck a hairball from the shower drain
To the gay refrain
Of a happy working song

We'll keep singing without fail
Otherwise, we'd spoil it
Hosing down the garbage pail
And scrubbing up the toilet, ooh!

How we all enjoy letting loose with a little la-da-dum-dum-dum
While we're emptying the vacuum
It's such fun to hum
A happy working song
Oo-ooh, a happy working song

Oh, how strange a place to be
Till Edward comes for me
My heart is sighing
Still, as long as I am here
I guess a new experience could be worth trying
Hey, keep drying!

You could do a lot when you got such a happy little tune to hum
While you're sponging up the soapy scum
We adore each filthy chore that we determine
So friends even though you're vermin
We're a happy working throng

Singing as we fetch the detergent box
For the smelly shirts and the stinky socks
Sing along
If you cannot sing, then hum along
As we're finishing our happy working song!
(spoken)
Ah… wasn't this fun?

About

Giselle (Amy Adams) finds herself alone in the apartment and uses her magical powers to summon the wildlife to help her clean up the place. Since this is New York, the main wildlife are cockroaches, rats, and pigeons, but they’re eager to help anyway. This song parodies a number of other songs from Disney animated films, especially “Whistle While You Work” from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
