Background: Friends of mine have a large multi-Duke encampment. Everyone pitches in to do the chores and make it all look fabu all the time. I was seated at dinner when the Dukes spoke up and said they had noticed the folks on dish duty were losing hours in the kitchen and missing whole evenings of Pennsic fun. That evening after dinner there was a class on how to do all those dishes in 15-20 minutes. Somethings just need to be filk. This has been sent by the folks in question, they think it is funny. heh.

Washing up the Dishes to the tune oof “Taking care of business”.

The dishes were alarming
I didn’t get a warning
My name was on the list, di’n’t get no pity
Here’s hot water and the soap
Don’t just stand there like a dope
Use your nails if you find it gritty
If you don’t take your time
You can finish up by 9
Get moving find a sweetie and get laid,
Everybody does some chores
It’s just this one is a bore
I been running like a chicken all day
but I am

washing up the dishes (every day)
washing up the dishes (the hard way)
washing up the dishes (late at night)
washing up the dishes with no end in sight
Wash up

Then the Dukes came down
said “You’re working like a clown
We’ll show you how to do it in a snap
Everybody to the sink
Later on we will have a drink
But for now, watch how it’s done and close your trap
You will have more time for fun
Stack them like this son
wash and rinse and drain them this way
I can do it in fifteen,
I know you are just green
You’ll be up to speed in just a few days”
and now I’m

Washing up the dishes (the Duke’s way)
Washing up the dishes (More time to play)
Washing up the dishes this is fine
Washing up the dishes and done in half the time!

Whoooo!
