lyrics

I like to walk outside on the sidewalk
And when it's raining I take my big umbrella
I like to go down to the newsstand
And buy a newspaper

I want to vacuum, I can make rug patterns with the wheels
Uh huh huh, I want to vacuum
Cause I like the way the humming sound makes me feel
And it makes me feel like I'm a living, real thing

I like to drink Kool-Aid from a paper cup
Just like I did when I was five years old
I like to watch black-and-white movies
That were made before I was even born

I want to vacuum to make things look nice for my guest
Uh huh huh, I want to vacuum
And when that's done, Mom'll do the rest
Cause it makes me feel like I'm a living, real thing

Hear that vroom, that's the tune
That comes out from my vacuum
And it says "my oh me, what could that be
Vibrating deeply under my vacuum"

I like to sleep late in the morning
And read a book I like all day
I like to go down to the newsstand
And buy a newspaper

I want to vacuum, I can make rug patterns with the wheels
Uh huh huh, I want to vacuum
Cause I like the way the humming sound makes me feel
And it makes me feel like I'm a living, real
Genuine, alkaline, everything is yours and mine thing
So I say can you see if that is me vibrating deeply
Under your vacuum
