(Spoken:
|
This number's bein' especially played
|
And dedicated to all of the women
|
From all of the men)
|
|
You see you women have a good thing goin'
|
But we hip to ya now
|
|
You take two or three pieces
|
And go down to the laundromat
|
An' take ya eight hours to wash 'em
|
No good!
|
|
We gonna buy ya washers and dryers
|
And we're gonna put ya at home in the basement
|
And we gonna kick the door down that goes to the basement
|
While we can hear the washer when it stop
|
|
And baby, baby, baby, when that washer stop
|
You better be though
|
Or you better have a darn good explanation!
|
|
Don't you go get whupped all on the toenails
|
We're gonna raise your eye lashes and whup ya some
|
And if ya run fast enough
|
We're gonna whup ya on the bottom of the feet
|
Ain't that right men?
|
Speak up for yourself! (yeah, yeah)
|
|
There will be no more goin' to the laundromat
|
Puttin' your clothes in there
|
And gettin' your girlfriend keep her eye on it
|
While you step out the back door
|
|
You better take my advise
|
You might need it on your vacation this summer
|
I'd hate to see ya come up with a leg screwed off
|
Or a eye punched out
|
Yeah!
|
|
Whoa! yeah, yeah!
|
|
I know you don't know it babe (yeah, yeah, yeah)
|
But things look bad for you
|
Hey, I know you don't know it babe
|
But I'm gonna keep a close eye on you
|
|
Well, ev'ry time you go to the laundromat, baby
|
I want you to know, I want you to know
|
That I'll be there too!
