Let's Do The Wash
NOTE: I've had two songs sent in, "Let's Do The Wash" and "Do The Wash" which sound like the same song, so I'm including both versions.
Version 1
(A room with a washing machine. As music starts, a man walks by with a laundry basket. A boy comes up, whacks the side of the machine so it starts running, then he sings)
Boy: When you're eating spaghetti
And it gets all over your shirt
Little boy: (coming in) When you're making mud pies
And you come home covered with dirt
Man: When you look like you live in a pig pen
And you don't even know why
All: (joined by a young lady, an older lady, and a lady with glasses)
When you look like guck from your head to your toes
Who knows what to do with those dirty clothes
Let's do the Wash!
Glasses Lady: It makes your clothes so clean
All: Let's do the Wash!
Little boy: Just put 'em in the washing machine!
All: I love to hear that soap and water slosh
Boy: So come on, baby
All: Let's do the Wash!
(All swing their heads round and round, imitating the action of the washing machine)
Young Lady: When you're skippin' rope
And the rope trips over your shoe
Glasses Lady: When you've got an ice cream cone
And it drips and it sticks like glue
Older Lady: When you just try to jump a puddle
And somehow it gets on you
All: I know a way that I bet we could
Get those dirty clothes lookin' good
Let's do the Wash!
Young Lady: It gets your clothes so clean
All: Let's do the Wash!
Man: Just put 'em in the washing machine
All: I love to hear that soap and water slosh
Older lady: So come on, baby
All: Let's do the Wash!
(head swinging dance again)
Ooooooooooooo!
Let's do the Wash!
Glasses Lady: It makes your clothes so clean
All: Let's do the Wash!
Little Boy: Just put 'em in the washing machine
All: I love to hear that soap and water slosh
Boy: So come on, baby
All: Let's do the Wash!
Do the Wash!
Do the Wash!
Oh......
Yeah!
Version 2
When you're playing baseball
And you fall in second base
When your hands are greasy
And you wipe 'em any old place
When you're putting on makeup
And there's more on what you wore
Than there is on your face
I know a way that I bet we could
Get those dirty clothes lookin' good!
Let's do the wash!
It makes your clothes so clean
Let's do the wash!
Just put 'em in the washing machine
I love to hear that soap and water slosh!
So, come on, baby, let's do the wash!
Ooh, let's do the wash!
It makes your clothes so clean
Let's do the wash!
Just put 'em in the washing machine
I love to hear that soap and water slosh!
So, come on, baby, let's do the wash!
