My Dad's a Janitor

Switchblade Kittens


My dad's a janitor 
He is really clean 
Kids make fun of him 
But he means everything to me 

When my dad wakes 
He drinks an oversized cup of coffee 
When he takes his lunch 
He takes a 2-liter Hi-C 
When he laughs 
he shakes his big potbelly 
When his back aches 
I think he is so funny 

He learned English when he was 24 
He has this job for my college 
so he can make some more 
He yelled at me for 
writing on the bathroom door 
He just dances with his mop 
when he mops the floor 

My dad doesn't pay attention 
when he watches TV 
My dad sees my grades 
and he starts to yell at me 
My dad tried to teach me 
how to drive but I hit a tree 
My dad always messes up my hair 
and says that he loves me 

When I was young I lied, lied to my dad 
When I was young I cried, cried to my dad 
Now I am big and I fly, fly to see my dad
