Go To Your Room!

Send me to my room, please
Tell me its there that I must stay
Send me to my room, please
Make me stay in there all day


Because I've been very naughty
Yes, I've really been quite bad
Send me to my room, please
And I'll try to act so sad


I won't shout, or scream, or throw a fit
I'll march straight up to my room
Then you can sweep and mop the kitchen
Here's a bucket and the broom


Send me to my room please
I've got this book I want to read
There's a box I'd like to sort through
Maybe a nap is what I need


Then you can do the dishes
And vacuum all the floors
I'll think about the things I've done
In my room, behind my door


 I'll let you unclog the toilet
And then you can pay the bills
Send me to my room please
Then wash the windows and the sills


Just call me when the dinners done
I'm sure by then I can be good
Send me to my room please
I really wish you would


You'll need to get the laundry done
Wash, dry, fold, and put away
I'll go to my room now
You be Mommy for the day
