Let's Do The Wash (version 1) Lyrics - Sesame Street

Version 1 

(A room with a washing machine. As music starts, a man walks by with a laundry basket. A boy comes up, whacks the side of the machine so it starts running, then he sings) 

Boy: When you're eating spaghetti 

And it gets all over your shirt 

Little boy: (coming in) When you're making mud pies 

And you come home covered with dirt 

Man: When you look like you live in a pig pen 

And you don't even know why 

All: (joined by a young lady, an older lady, and a lady with glasses) 

When you look like guck from your head to your toes 

Who knows what to do with those dirty clothes 

Let's do the Wash! 

Glasses Lady: It makes your clothes so clean 

All: Let's do the Wash! 

Little boy: Just put 'em in the washing machine! 

All: I love to hear that soap and water slosh 

Boy: So come on, baby 

All: Let's do the Wash! 

(All swing their heads round and round, imitating the action of the washing machine) 

Young Lady: When you're skippin' rope 

And the rope trips over your shoe 

Glasses Lady: When you've got an ice cream cone 

And it drips and it sticks like glue 

Older Lady: When you just try to jump a puddle 

And somehow it gets on you 

All: I know a way that I bet we could 

Get those dirty clothes lookin' good 

Let's do the Wash! 

Young Lady: It gets your clothes so clean 

All: Let's do the Wash! 

Man: Just put 'em in the washing machine 

All: I love to hear that soap and water slosh 

Older lady: So come on, baby 

All: Let's do the Wash! 

(head swinging dance again) 

Ooooooooooooo! 

Let's do the Wash! 

Glasses Lady: It makes your clothes so clean 

All: Let's do the Wash! 

Little Boy: Just put 'em in the washing machine 

All: I love to hear that soap and water slosh 

Boy: So come on, baby 

All: Let's do the Wash! 

Do the Wash! 

Do the Wash! 

Oh...... 

Yeah!
