The Laundromat Swing
Drop your lucky nickel down the money slot
Then toss your dirty drawers where it's pipin' hot
If you wanna take your baby to the dancin' spot
You've got to do the Laundromat Swing

Every workin' fella on a Friday night
By 20 after five is getting right
If you're gonna show the lady she's your true delight
You've got to do the Laundromat Swing

I know you plan to spend the afternoon just lazin'
But every woman wants a man who smells amazin'
You must get clean to show your queen just who her king is
Iron out your shirt if you wanna flirt
Every fella kissin' ain't missin' the starch around his collar

Take your frizzy mop into the barber shop
Then buy the flower boy outta his whole crop
Everybody knows a lover boy is bound to flop
If he doesn't do the Laundromat Swing
Oh you've got to do the Laundromat Swing
Boo-dot ba-doo-dot ba-doo-dot dot dot
Ba-da-ba-da-ba-da
Badel-ee-a-doo-ba-deh-ba-doo-ba-deh-ba-doo-doot doo
Doot doot doh
Way oh

Boo-dot ba-doo-dot ba-doo-dot dot dot
Ba-da-ba-da-ba-da
Badel-ee-a-doo-ba-deh-ba-doo-ba-deh-ba-doo-doot doo
Doot doot dway-ay-oh, dway oh
Ba-doo-ba-doo-ba-date day-oh

I know you plan to spend the afternoon just lazin'
But every woman wants a man who smells amazin'
You must get clean to show your queen just who her king is
Iron out your shirt if you wanna flirt
Every fella kissin' ain't missin' the starch around his collar

[faster]
Take your frizzy mop into the barber shop
Then buy the flower boy outta his whole crop
Everybody knows a lover boy is bound to flop
If he doesn't do the Laundromat Swing
Oh you've got to do that Laundromat Swing
