There's a room that needs

Cleaning,

Cleaning, and a boy there to do it!

And a boy there to do it!

On the north side of seussville,

In a second-floor room,

Lives a bright little boy

Named matthew katroom.

Now he's not there for fun,

It's not broom-holding season.

No, matthew katroom

Is in there for a reason.

♪♪ I'm not playing around,

No, this time I mean it.

I'm going here in my room,

And I'm gonna clean it!

♪♪ As he looks on

At the mess near his bunk,

He's a little bit scared

By that pile of junk.

It's quite a collection

Of old toys and sweat socks.

Of sandwiches, pictures,

And crayons and rocks.

It's been there so long,

Up in young matthew's lair,

That it makes matthew wonder...

♪♪ Just what is in there!

♪♪ Why it has been so long

Since his last cleaning job,

That his toys might have got

Themselves stuck in a glob!

And all of that sticky stuff

Might have come from

His crayons and candy

And old chewing gum.

"Yes," thinks our matthew,

While scratching his hair.

♪♪ There's no telling just what

Could be happening in there!

♪♪ Why, he might find a sandwich

That's been there so long,

That it's written a bunch

Of old sandwich songs.

♪♪ ♪ , , , ,

Oh, my mustard went rotten,

And left me today,

And my cheese and "tomatahs"

Smell worse than wet hay ♪

♪♪ Ooh, doggie!

♪♪ Will he really find

Sandwiches singing so well?

"Maybe not," thinks matthew...

♪♪ But you never can tell.

♪♪ Yes, anything could be in

There, of that there's no doubt.

But matt knows there's only

One way to find out!

And so with a jump

And a fierce battle-cry...

♪♪ Yah!

♪♪ Matthew charges the junk

That is piled so high.

I guess matthew slipped

In a slippery spot.

Is he through, will he quit?

♪♪ No, I will not!

Ahh.

I'm doing just fine, I'm

Doing just great!

♪♪ He says, and then slips

On an old roller skate!

♪♪ Why, you old pile of junk!

♪♪ And now we watch matthew,

For hours and hours,

Using all of his wonderful

Room-cleaning powers.

And finally, after most of the

Day, matthew katroom lets out

A...

♪♪ Hooray!

♪♪ Hooray! Now that is a happy

New sound. Just what do you

Think that matthew has found?

What was that "hooray!"

From matthew katroom?

Did he find monsters up there

In his room?

♪♪ Actually, no.

There was nothing like that.

Ha ha. Wee!

♪♪ Yes, a lot can be done

With two hands and a broom.

Don't believe me? Well, just

Go ask matthew katroom.
