Wash Away |
Mother’s in the kitchen steaming up the window panes |
Smell of boiling cabbage comes up from an open drain |
But no amount of scrubbing could ever shift a gravy stain |
Washaway washaway washerette |
Washaway washaway every dirty stain you get |
Streets lay deserted |
No one feels exerted |
Sat on their couches |
With loose change in their pouches |
They couldn’t spend it if they tried |
In comes Mr Softee |
Dressed up like and ice cream cone |
Ringing for his supper |
Heading for a stately home |
But a thousand Yorkshire puddings |
Couldn’t make his business boom |
See how they wander |
To kill time in droves they squander |
Money in centres |
That feed on the mind, oh bother |
It just gets you down |
Washaway washaway washerette |
Business as usual at the uptown launderette |
Washaway washaway the dirt |
Wash it |
Washaway the dirt |
