Finished cleaning out the junk drawer
The kitchen’s looking kind of bare
Heading to the storage room
To see what’s dwelling there
It’s taken more than fifty years
To accumulate all this junk
Stuff I couldn’t live without
Has cost me quite a chunk
Whatever was I thinking
When I tuned in QVC
Household items I used just once
May be the death of me
My body has taken a beating
My mind’s still clear, I suppose
Poor health is now a way of life
I’m still kicking, goodness knows
Donations to the thrift store
Sure give me lots to do
And makes this old heart happy
To bid that stuff adieu
So relieved to get this done
Don’t want to leave the house a mess
I certainly can’t take it with me
That's a relief, I must confess
What’s in this lady’s head, you ask
Well, I’m just winding down
Getting rid of all life’s clutter
‘Cause I am Heaven bound
