The Laundry Blues

[Verse] My shirt's got a stain It's a coffee tattoo My socks ran away I got just one shoe The washer's broke It's singing the blues too [Chorus] Oh The laundry blues They're hanging me dry Piles so high they’re touching the sky The laundry blues No matter how I try I can't shake 'em loose Oh why oh why [Verse 2] Jeans in the corner They’re stiff as a board T-shirts in a pile like a hoarder's hoard The dryer laughs Says “You can't afford!” [Prechorus] I scrub I rinse I spin and I shout But these stains Man They just won't come out [Chorus] Oh The laundry blues They're hanging me dry Piles so high they’re touching the sky The laundry blues No matter how I try I can't shake 'em loose Oh why oh why [Bridge] A quarter in my pocket Won't get me too far The laundromat's distant like a fading star Wish I had a genie or a magic jar
