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
