Spring cleaning is the practice of thoroughly cleaning a house in the springtime. The practice of spring cleaning is especially prevalent in climates with a cold winter.
The most common usage of spring cleaning refers to the yearly act of cleaning a house from top to bottom which would take place in the first warm days of the year typically in spring, hence the name. However it has also come to be synonymous with any kind of heavy duty cleaning or organizing enterprise. A person who gets their affairs in order before an audit or inspection could be said to be doing some spring cleaning.
It has been suggested that the origins of spring cleaning date back to the Iranian Norouz, the Persian new year, which falls on the first day of spring[citation needed]. Iranians continue the practice of "khooneh tekouni" which literally means "shaking the house" just before the new year. Everything in the house is thoroughly cleaned, from the drapes to the furniture. A similar tradition is the Scottish "New Year's cleaning" on Hogmanay (December 31), a practice now also widespread in Ireland, New Zealand, and to some extent North America.
Mop the boys outta my life
Mop the boys outta my life
I gotta mop the boys, outta my life
Mop, mop, mop
It’s a brand new day, sunshine’s on my face
I open up the window and breathe
Say goodbye to all the mess that’s caught up in all this place
It’s time to get this weight off of me
Gotta do some spring cleaning
Kick out the boys and stop dreaming
Starting out fresh with a new beginning
Out with the old, in with the new
Delete those numbers from my phone
Tell ‘em to leave this girl alone
It’s way too dusty inside so
I gotta mop the boys outta my life
Blue birds started singing
Daffodils are springing
Temperature is changing
So am I
I guess that’s the reason
You are out of season
Head off to a new day
Baby bye bye
I got 20 new messages on my phone
Like I got nothing better to do
It’s like every single time I tell ‘em no, no, no
They find another way to get through
Gotta do some spring cleaning
Kick out the boys and stop dreaming
Starting out fresh with a new beginning
Out with the old, in with the new
Delete those numbers from my phone
Tell ‘em to leave this girl alone
It’s way too dusty inside so
I gotta mop the boys outta my life
Blue birds started singing
Daffodils are springing
Temperature is changing
So am I
I guess that’s the reason
You are out of season
Head off to a new day
Baby bye bye
You’re like a fly that won’t go away
I’ll be foolish to let you stay
I’ll take out my spray and wash you away, away, away
Ah ah ah ah oh oh
Ah ah ah ah oh
Ah ah ah ah oh oh da la la la la oh
Blue birds started singing
Daffodils are springing
Temperature is changing
So am I
I guess that’s the reason
You are out of season
Head off to a new day
Baby bye bye
Blue birds started singing
Daffodils are springing
Temperature is changing
So am I
I guess that’s the reason
You are out of season
Head off to a new day
Baby bye bye
I gotta mop the boys outta my life
Mop the boys outta my life
Dusty inside so
