Ds does a faster and better job cleaning up most of the time if I play Clean It Up by Laurie Berkner. You should be able to get the mp3 from amazon or iTunes.

Ok, so there are several versions or different songs? Good to know. I thought there was one clean-up song the entire world knew and I was really clueless.
Thanks! I'll check it all out. Maybe I can start with DD and get her on it early.

"Put your toys away, don't delay Help your Mommy have a happy day"
There's also a cleanup song on an episode of SuperWhy that DD sings when she's picking up her toys. It's basically just "Clean up, clean up, let's clean up" over and over again. But apparently she likes it. I think it's the three bears episode.
DDs have a different one from daycare that's sung to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle:
Twinkle, twinkle little star
Time to clean up where you are
Put the toys back in their place
With a smile upon your face
Twinkle, twinkle little star
Time to clean up where you are

I'm a toddler teacher, and sometimes we sing the barney one, other times we sing "it's clean up time in the classroom,
time for girls and boys,
to stop what they're doing,
and clean up their toys"
*but you don't have to actually sing a clean up song, you can pick any song and associate it with cleaning up, one of the preschool teachers uses classical music, 'flight of the bumblebee' when her kids hear it, they know it's clean up time.

Re: What is this clean-up song?
We sing:
Clean up, Clean up, Everybody Everywhere
Clean Up, Clean up, Everybody does their share.

This is the one I know of. It's from Barney, I think. I heard some day care employees at the library play time singing it with their kids a few times.
Edit: I found it on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZUufewt05E
This is the one I know. I learned it from the other teachers when I used to work in a preschool.
Same as the one posted, but I repeat first line and change 2nd line every time I sing it-
Clean up, clean up everybody everwhere,
Clean up, clean up_________
-everybody do your share- everybody show you care- this goes here and that goes there- etc- depending on my brain's ability to rhyme at the moment.
The one I knew was:
"Put your toys away, don't delay
Help your Mommy have a happy day"

Same here. I actually learned it FROM DS because he just started singing it whenever we'd clean - so cute!
