The Work Week Song (Nursery Rhyme)

Summary


"The Work Week Song" is a children's nursery rhyme that carries young readers through an entire week of household life, one busy morning at a time. Monday brings washing, Tuesday ironing, and each day adds a new chore — sweeping, baking, scrubbing, and mending — until Sunday arrives with rest and play. The simple, repeating rhythm makes each verse easy to sing along with, building a satisfying sense of routine and reward as the week unfolds.

This is the way we wash our clothes,
Wash our clothes, wash our clothes,
This is the way we wash our clothes,
So early Monday morning.

This is the way we iron our clothes,
Iron our clothes, iron our clothes,
This is the way we iron our clothes,
So early Tuesday morning.

This is the way we sweep the floor,
Sweep the floor, sweep the floor,
This is the way we sweep the floor,
So early Wednesday morning.

This is the way we bake our bread,
Bake our bread, bake our bread,
This is the way we bake our bread,
So early Thursday morning.

This is the way we scrub the pots,
Scrub the pots, scrub the pots,
This is the way we scrub the pots,
So early Friday morning.

This is the way we mend our clothes,
Mend our clothes, mend our clothes,
This is the way we mend our clothes,
So early Saturday morning.

This is the way we rest and play,
Rest and play, rest and play,
This is the way we rest and play,
So early Sunday morning.
