| I remember it was that Wednesday | |
| Oh, when it rained and it rained | |
| They traipsed mud all over the house | |
| It took hours and hours to scrub it out | |
| All over the hall carpet | |
| I took my mop and my bucket | |
| And I cleaned and I cleaned | |
| The kitchen floor until it sparkled | |
| Then I took my laundry basket | |
| And put all the linen in it | |
| And everythin' I could fit in it | |
| All our dirty clothes | |
| That hadn't gone into the wash | |
| And all your shirts | |
| And jeans and things | |
| And put them in the new | |
| Washing machine | |
| Washing machine | |
| Washing machine | |
| I watched them go 'round and 'round | |
| My blouse wrappin' itself around your trousers | |
| Oh, and the waves are goin' out | |
| My skirt floatin' up around my waist | |
| As I wade out into the surf | |
| Oh, and the waves are comin' in | |
| Oh, and the waves are goin' out | |
| Oh, and you're standin' right behind me | |
| Little fish swim between my legs | |
| Oh, and the waves are comin' in | |
| Oh, and the waves are goin' out | |
| Oh, and the waves are comin' in | |
| Out of the corner of my eye | |
| I think, I see you standin' outside | |
| But it's just your shirt, hangin' on the washing line | |
| Wavin' its arm as the wind blows by | |
| And it looks so alive | |
| Nice and white | |
| Just like it's climbed | |
| Right out of my | |
| Washing machine | |
| Washing machine | |
| Washing machine | |
| Slooshy sloshy slooshy sloshy | |
| Get that dirty shirty clean | |
| Slooshy sloshy slooshy sloshy | |
| Make those cuffs and collars gleam | |
| Everything clean and shiny | |
| Washing machine | |
| Washing machine | |
| Washing machine |
