The Ashbrooke Launderette.... You'll Stink, Your Clothes Shrink, Your Whites'll Be As Black As Ink

(album: Bare Faced Cheek - 1987)

I didn't have a spin dryer so I had to go
He didn't have a spin dryer so he had to go
With his dirty socks and undies o-o-o-o-oh
To the cleaners on the corner, but how was I to know
They'd be more dirty at 3:30 oh

[Chorus:]
Rub a dub a dub dub we wash and scrub
We wash your laundry
Rub a dub a dub dub we wash and scrub
We wash your laundry

They say my clothes are cleaner
But I'm not a lunatic
They should be shot they have not got
Persil Automatic

Rub a dub a dub rub a dub a dub dub

So many things go missing at the Ashbrooke Launderette
So many things go missing at the Ashbrooke Launderette
The clothes that you have left dirty and wet
So if you want some washing done d-d-d-d-don't forget
You'll suffer at the Ashbrooke Lauderette

[Chorus]

You'll stink, your clothes shrink
Your whites'll be as black as ink
Your best red jumper turns to pink
All crumpled up and wet
We've been, have you been
To get your dirty washing clean
Are you clean you couldn't have been
To the Ashbrooke Launderette

You'll stink, your clothes shrink
Your whites'll be as black as ink
Your best red jumper turns to pink
All crumpled up and wet
We've been, have you been
To get your dirty washing clean
Are you clean you couldn't have been
To the Ashbrooke Launderette
