He snuck into the janitor's office
Stole the keys, the bucket and the mop
Walked up and down the halls cleaning bathroom stalls
Stayed busy and he never did stop
"They all believe that I'm a real janitor
Call my name when they're in a mess
And I come running with my bucket and my mop
Because the Janitor always knows best"
Smiles and praise coming my way
And "hey, hope you have a nice day!"
All I gotta do is keep cleaning after you
And I get to be hero for a day
But lately appreciation's lacking
Expectations are not to his taste
He used to at least get a smile and a wink
But now he's mopping up radioactive waste
"Hey, I'm not even the janitor
I just do it as a favor for free
This isn't my apron, my bucket or my mop
Why can't anybody see?"
Smiles and praise coming my way
And "hey, hope you have a nice day!"
All I gotta do is keep cleaning after you
And I get to be hero for a day
Sideways glances, hostile stances
What's his problem today?
I wish he'd hurry up and clean up this mess
I've got a date and I really can't stay
He finally took off that apron
He said, "It never was really mine"
Grumbling on, where's the janitor gone?
He walked away without looking behind
Smiles and praise coming my way
And "hey, hope you have a nice day!"
All I gotta do is keep cleaning after you
And I get to be hero for a day
Smiles and praise coming my way
And "hey, hope you have a nice day!"
All I gotta do is keep showing up for you
And I get to be hero for a day
