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   And 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   Washing machine   Washing machine      I watched them go 'round and 'round   My blouse wrapping itself around your trousers   Oh 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   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   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
