Mrs Bartolozzi

	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 my bucket
	And I cleaned and I cleaned
	The kitchen floor
	Until it sparkled
	Then I took my laundry basket
	And put all the linen in it
	And everything I could fit in it
	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 going '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 it's arm as the wind blows by
	And it looks so alive
	Nice and white
	Just like it's 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
