Intro

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 bucket

 And I cleaned and I cleaned

 The kitchen floor

 Until it sparkled

Then I took my laundry basket

 Put the linen all in it

And everything I could fit in it

 And 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

I watched them go 'round and 'round

My blouse wrapping itself around your trousers

Oh and the waves are going out

My skirt floating up around my waist

As I wade out into the surf

Oh and the waves are coming in

Oh and the waves are going out

Oh and you're standing right behind me

Little fish swim between my legs

Oh and the waves are coming in

Oh and the waves are going out

 Oh and the waves are coming in

/2 /2

Out of the corner of my eye

 I think I see you standing outside

But it's just your shirt

 Hanging on the washing line

 Waving its arm as the wind blows by

 And it looks so alive

Nice and white

 Just like its climbed right out

Of my washing machine

[Eb9#11]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
