[Verse 1] The dance hall lost its power On the warmest Friday yet My shirt was in the washer And my good boots weren't quite set The laundromat stayed open With its row of folding chairs I found you reading labels With a pencil in your hair [Pre-Chorus] Somebody's radio played low You said, there isn't far to go [Chorus] Two-step at the laundromat One turn here and one turn back Past the dryers, clear the floor We don't need a ballroom door Hold the beat and mind that mat Let the whole long week unwind Two-step at the laundromat You took my hand right on time [Verse 2] Your work apron was spinning With a quarter in its seam I told you I was missing What had been a Friday dream You found a clean white table And set your basket out of sight We used the tiles for counting Till the towels came out right [Chorus] Two-step at the laundromat One turn here and one turn back Past the dryers, clear the floor We don't need a ballroom door Hold the beat and mind that mat Let the whole long week unwind Two-step at the laundromat You took my hand right on time [Bridge] At closing we folded every shirt And checked the pockets twice The dance hall had its lights back on But home was looking nice [Final Chorus] Two-step at the laundromat One turn here and one turn back Past the dryers, clear the floor We found our Friday after all Hold the beat and mind that mat Let the whole long week unwind Two-step at the laundromat We kept the rhythm on the drive [Outro] Next week I washed my good shirt early And still arrived at half past nine.
