Take a long time baby, to break in a brand new broom
Take a long time, to break in a brand new broom
You better get this old broom, you better do it soon
New broom sweeps clean, old broom gets into every crack
New broom sweeps clean, old broom gets in every crack
When you start your housecleaning, you gonna want this old broom back
Take a long time baby
(Take a long time baby)
Take a long time baby
(Take a long time baby)
Take a long time baby
(Take a long time baby)
Take a long time, to break in a brand new broom
Now the new broom won't sweep the crack
Now you want to get the old broom back
It takes a long time baby
(It takes a long time baby)
It takes a long time baby
It takes a long time, break in a brand new broom
Well you had a new broom that won't clean the crack
Now you want to get this old broom back
It takes a long time baby
(It takes a long time baby)
It takes a long time baby
It takes a long time, break in a brand new broom
It takes a long time baby
Let me hear somebody scream out there!
Let me hear you scream!
Let me hear you scream on more time!
It takes a long time baby
(It takes a long time baby)
It takes a long time baby
(It takes a long time baby)
It takes a long time baby
(It takes a long time baby)
Let me hear somebody scream!
