Watching the Clothes
Laundry Blues: A Saturday Night Symphony
Lyrics
Oh, Saturday night
Expressing the timeframe of Saturday night
Mmm, everyone's having fun
Observing that everyone is enjoying themselves
I'm down at the laundromat
Being at the laundromat
Trying to get my washing done
Attempting to complete laundry tasks
Like I done before
Reflecting on the repetitive nature of the task
Time and time again
Highlighting the frequent experience of doing laundry
Watching the clothes go 'round
Observing the circular motion of clothes in the machine
Another week sees its end
Acknowledging the conclusion of another week
Watching the clothes go 'round
Repetition emphasizing the monotony of the task
Watching the clothes go 'round
-Watching the clothes go 'round
-Watching the clothes go 'round
-Oh, I've been working hard
Expressing hard work for financial gain
Mmm, trying to make some money
Striving to earn money
"would you like sour cream
Quoting a mundane question about condiments, possibly portraying routine interactions
On your potato, honey?"
-I been kissing ass
Engaging in flattery or compliance
Trying to keep it clean
Struggling to maintain a respectable image
Serving the middle class
Describing a repetitive and orderly service to the middle class
Yeah, it's a clean routine
-Watching the clothes go 'round
Reiteration of watching clothes go 'round, symbolizing life's routine
Watching the clothes go 'round
-Watching the clothes go 'round
-Watching the clothes go 'round
-There go the whites
Describing the progression of laundry cycles symbolically
Mmm, getting whiter
-There go the colors
-Getting brighter
-There go the dedicates
-Through the final rinse
-There goes my Saturday night
-I go without a fight
-Watching the clothes go 'round
Repetition of watching clothes go 'round, emphasizing the mundane nature of the task
Watching the clothes go 'round
-Watching the clothes go 'round
-Watching the clothes go 'round
