Sesame Street - Let's Do The Wash (version 1) lyrics

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 gla**es) 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! Gla**es 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 Gla**es 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! Gla**es 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!
