Lyrics

When I get up in the morning
Gonna go down to the laundromat
When I get up in the morning
Gonna go down to the laundromat
I'm gonna wash your darks, gonna wash your lights
Gonna wash your things keep me up all night
When I get up in the morning
Gonna go down to the loundromat

When I'm finished with the laundry
Gonna hang your linen up to dry
When I'm finished with the laundry
Gonna hang your linen up to dry
If the neighbours like what the neighbours see
Tough luck honey, it's just for me
When I'm finished with the laundry
Gonna hang your linen up to dry

Some men balk at domesticity
They say "doing dishes just don't speak to me"
But I say here I am, I'm waiting patiently
To do your laundry

Everybody sees me, baby, walking down the street
All that they can do is turn away
'Cuz they know that it's hopeless
And there's nothing they can do
When they see a boy who's struck this way

When you hold the door open
We'll be turning down the thermostat
When you hold the door open
We'll be turning down the thermostat
Though you might seem cold in your lingerie
I'm sure they'll keep us hot all day
When you hold the door open
We'll be turning down the thermostat

Some men balk at domesticity
They say "doing dishes just don't speak to me"
But I say here I am, I'm waiting patiently
To do your laundry
