Born To Do Dishes Lyrics

Dishpan hands and pots and pans and ashtrays
full of butts
Pearldiving's the life for me i'm such a little putz
The heat the slime I've never been on time
I'm soaking wet,I'll never save a dime
Born to do dishes
I was born to do dishes
I was born to do dishes and my moms
real bummed out
The heat the slime I've never been on time
I'm soaking wet,I'll never save a dime
Born to do dishes
I was born to do dishes
Fuck you(lots)
I was born to do dishes and my mom's really bummed out

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
