Nice song Chris, When I first started off one of my guys called in sick and I had already told the customer I would be at their house that morning, so I went alone.  What a mistake first of all it took me twice as long to do because I had to keep getting down and watering and then a week latyer I found out that I killed a plant, luckily it was just a hanging basket.  NEVER again.  We have done 90 jobs since this one and have not lost a single plant.  Toledo Roof Cleaning never works alone, it's not worth it.

This is a funny song about one man roof cleaning I wrote some time ago.
It is always better to have a ground man watering plants, and protecting your customers property from overspray.

Here is the music


I saw you up on my roof, working all alone
But thats not what you told me when I called you on the phone
You told me you would treat my plants as though they were your own

Oh-a oh

You said you won awards like the one on Angies List
You didn't come back to touch up the spots you missed
And now my Plants are dead, and I am really pizzed.

Oh-a oh
You burnt My Plants up
Oh-a oh
You better Fess Up?
A Roof Cleaner Killed The Plants in My Yard.
A Roof Cleaner Killed The Plants in My Yard

Pictures came and broke your heart.
Oh-a-a-a oh

And now we meet in an abandoned parking lot.
I'm Packing Heat but you can not see my Glock.
You one man roof cleaner, I'm gonna clean your clock.

Oh-a oh

You were a liar.
Oh-a oh

My plants are on Fire.

A Roof Cleaner Killed The Plants in My Yard.
A Roof Cleaner Killed The Plants in My Yard.
In my mind and in my heart, the plants are dead, it's gone to far
Oh-a-aho oh,
Oh-a-aho oh

A Roof Cleaner Killed The Plants in My Yard.
A Roof Cleaner Killed The Plants in My Yard

In my mind and in my heart, the plants are dead, it's gone to far.
Pictures came and broke your heart, pay up now, if you're real smart.

You are ....a roof cleaning farce.
You are ....a roof cleaning farce.

Sounds like a good song for a big company to sing, especially if they are pumping from large pumps, with 3/4" ID hoses!
Then a ground man is a necessity. Of course, while the ground man can dilute the heck out of all that big pump run off, it's still many extra gallons of Chlorine, TSP, Alcohol & whatever in the groung=groung water and our Earth!

Those of us who use tarps and sprinklers and small pumps and 1/2" ID hoses are singing a different tune. My short song "

It may sound good in a sing song way,

when those big ole pumps are squirtin' away,

forgetting the gallons of SH reaching the ground

while dilutin' with water, it's still comin' down.

So help save the earth and slow down a bit,

use smaller pumps and hoses if you really give a $#%."

Lol - great song! There is this huge thread over on the Grime Scene about have a helper for cleaning roofs- which applies to this very issue. I cannot agree with the logic of not having help when cleaning roofs. Safety & professionalism = Money!

I re did the music for the song! This is an old thread, and the music link was broken. I fixed it, so everyone can sing along. This song is aimed at the one man roof cleaning hacks, and NOT at the one man roof cleaning professionals who really care about their customers.

Fair enough! Then I will do a solo part in the song with you and join in the chorus!
