You wash them clothes
Sweedeedee
And hang 'em on the line
I can see by the way

You wash them clothes
Cookin' must be fine
I'm with you in the morning
'Til the break of day

I know everybody
Has a little hard luck sometimes
I know lately, I've been havin' mine

We used to live
In a fleabag apartment
You know the kind

And he'd say to me
"We gotta leave, leave, leave the city"

You wash them clothes
Sweedeedee
And hang 'em on the line
I can see by the way

You wash them clothes
Cookin' must be fine
I'm with you in the morning
'Til the break of day

I know everybody
Has a little hard luck sometimes
I know lately, I've been havin' mine
