The Laundry Song
Music and lyrics written by Dana Austin

I met you at the sock hop
at Cotton Sturdy High
I'd just walked out the boys room
forgot to zip my fly
You swore your love would never fade
then hung me out to dry
And I machine wash warm
and tumble dry. Low kinda guy.

You asked me in for tea
and spilled that hot pan on your thigh
The color ran from both your cheeks
I thought that I would die
For under where you dropped your pan
tea stains would set and dry
And I machine wash warm
and tumble dry. Low kinda guy.

You've agitated loads of lovers
but when they would cry
You're so afraid of KitchenAids
you conned 'em with a lie
Which may deter gents from a snuggle
'tween your downy thighs
And I machine wash warm
and tumble dry. Low kinda guy.

I dreamed we washed up on a bleach
and then lay flat to dry
But when I told it to my shrink
it stretched into a lye
I thought we'd have a tumble
if your cycle would comply
And I machine wash warm
and tumble dry. Low kinda guy.
