Dammsugarförsäljare blues

My apartment was full of mold,
sticky juice, dirty clothes, and dust.
I noticed the vacuum salesman
walking up to my house.
I thought: last year I stubbed my toe on one of those,
but now I’m damn glad he’s here!

Now he’s gonna come in and suck up all my dust!
Vacuum salesman blues.
He should live in my house.
Vacuum salesman blues.

I held out for a bit
and that trick worked perfectly.
He would’ve gotten suspicious
if I had let him in right away and left.
Now he promised to show off the vacuum’s brilliance.
He didn’t even know where he was!

Now he’s gonna come in and suck up all my dust!
Vacuum salesman blues.
He should live in my house.
Vacuum salesman blues.

Evening came and I said:
You’ve cleaned up pretty well.
Thanks a lot, but sorry
I don’t want some vacuum from a door-to-door salesman!
