Amy Adams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 that we can 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-da-dum-dum
While we're emptying the vacuum up
It's such fun to hum a happy working song
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 trying

You can do a lot when you got
Such a happy working 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 song

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





Ah, wasn't this fun?

Hey all, I want to share a few experiences I've had, I hope they help. <3

Last year I prayed to God in repentance then begged for help with all my heart, "I was until then an Atheist."

I then had a dream of Jesus coming before God and he spoke of the Tabernacle in perfect context, "A word I didn't know existed because I never read the bible", and the love I felt from Jesus was unlike anything I've ever felt before - A lifetime of joy every second - It brought me to sobbing and it changed my life, forever.

I've had other miracles since, a few being a light turning on in answer to deeply needful prayer over a dozen times, seeing a orb of light hours before a major surgery, seeing an Angel in a dream the night my mother prayed for me to see one, "Without telling me", and So much more.

Know that God and Jesus ARE real and that they love us deeply. Let go of your hatred and Imagine yourself holding the people who've hurt you. Tell them you love and forgive them and I believe we should do our best to follow the 10 commandments.

Always have hope.. I believe that Love Is The Answer. <3

Whichever writer noticed that Giselle had become a stepmother and put 2 and 2 together with their traditional role in fairy tales deserves a raise.

@YellowBear-kx1ff

I like the idea of a Disney Princess becoming an Evil Queen. Goes with the phrase “Evil Queens are Princesses that were never saved”.

@adamdavis1648

@@YellowBear-kx1ff Is that phrase from somewhere, or did you come up with it yourself? 🤔

@marshmallow7640

@@adamdavis1648 pretty sure they got it from somewhere else

@veggiet2009

Well, they did actually make a joke about it in the first film, although it was about Nancy potentially become the step-mother, and how Prince Edward had a step-mother that was "actually nice"
