The Clean Room Song

    Written for and sung to my two young boys for purposes of encouragement.

    .

    In your room under your bed

    Lives a mean red fox

    Who feet first clings

    To the mattress springs

    And lives on dirty sox.

    .

    He likes to eat fuzz balls and things

    That are not put away

    Coats and toys

    And corduroy

    And things in disarray

    .

    (Chorus)

    The more he eats the bigger he grows

    If he gets to big, he'll bite off your toes

    And your fingers too, and even your head

    If you let them dangle over the bed..

    .

    His favorite snack is little boy's slacks

    Thrown on a heap on the floor

    He loves to chew on discarded shoes

    And feeding him makes him want more

    .

    (Insert Chorus)

    .

    So clean your room and pick up your clothes

    And starve the mean fox dead

    So when you sleep, you can let your feet

    Hang over the foot of the bed.

    So that you can keep your right hand

    So that your head will not be fed

    To the fox your blood makes red

    Living under your bed.
