The Dead Milkmen - Laundromat Song Lyrics

One, two, one-two-three-four!

Soap and quarters and bleach and laundry
Are the words I use at the laundromat
Reading the news, and watching the people
That's what I do at the laundromat

At the laundromat my heart grows fat
(Ah, ah)
As my clothes get dry I stop and sigh
(Ah, ah)
Dreaming
Screaming

There's a girl washing her clothes
I'm in love but nobody knows
She looks sixteen or seventeen
My mind grows dirty when my clothes get clean

She's so young and tall
(Ah, ah)
I'm gonna give her my all, or Borax! (ah, ah)
Dreaming
Screaming

I'm not a subtle guy
I'll go to her and sigh
"If I don't see you again my love
I must surely die"

Dreaming
Screaming
Clothes go round and round
And my heart goes up and down
She's drying her jeans
In separate machines

She's loading up her granny cart
(Ah, ah)
Goin out the door, it's breaking my heart
(Ah, ah)
Dreaming
Screaming
