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 |
