We keep it clean
Lyrics
we keep it clean, my friend and me we bleep obscene obscenities we turn our cheeks when enemies we meet we keep it clean i speak my peace honestly i gain entry with my key i do not sneak around stealthily not me i keep it clean we keep it clean biologically we keep it clean philosophically we keep it clean and also so obscene we keep it clean a lemon tree from lemon seeds each lemon needs a little squeeze a little squeeze metaphorically i mean let's keep it clean we keep it clean biologically we keep it clean philosophically we keep it clean and also so obscene we keep it clean we keep it clean biologically we keep it clean philosophically we keep it clean and also so obscene we keep it clean la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la ooo we keep it clean biologically we keep it clean philosophically we keep it clean and also so obscene we keep it clean we keep it clean biologically we keep it clean philosophically we keep it clean now turn your other cheek we keep it clean

Songwriter Notes
i was inspired by a song i heard on http://acousmata.com/ called ariel. i guess it's a jingle, but it contained the most excellent line: "ariel washes cleaner because it washes biologically". wow.
listening back now, the lyrics have this weird cat in the hat vibe to them. i think it's the aaaa rhyme scheme. i think its ok for such a silly song, but it really kind of clobbers you over the head with the rhyme.Conorl 16:42, 27 July 2009 (PDT)
