Swabbing of the deck, push of the rolling pail
Progressing nicely, behind me a shiny trail
Turning of the head, kindling of my rage
You left your footprints, now I must start again

Don't tread on my floor

Can you read this--
Caution wet floor
You ignore my work, you inconsiderate bore
Who needs this?
Remop the floor
Walk here again and this stick will be yours forevermore

Don't tread on my floor

Tighten and tie it, you with the unclean boot
A slide of the shoe horn, the tap of the haunting scoot
Glorious finish, fruits of my labor, friend
You never care, my work-- it never ends

Can you read this--
Caution wet floor
You ignore my work, you inconsiderate bore
Who needs this?
Remop the floor
Walk here again and this stick will yours forevermore

Don't tread on my floor

Can you read this--
Caution wet floor
You ignore my work, you inconsiderate bore

Swabbing of the deck, push of the rolling pail
Progressing nicely, behind me a shiny trail

Can you read this--
Caution wet floor
You ignore my work, you inconsiderate bore
Who needs this?
Remop the floor
Walk here again and this stick will be yours forevermore

Don't tread on my floor
