Laundromat Lyrics
What do you think of that?
I'm sleeping down at the laundromat,
If you should pass by,
Be sure to drop right in.
Well I don't have no clothes to clean,
To put inside the machine,
It was the craziest place,
I have ever been.
Come 'round and meet my friends,
They'll be there with me,
With me to the end,
With me to the end,
With me to the end.
They say I told you so,
Maybe bad times come and go,
If you don't know that right now,
But then you'll never know.
Well I don't have no clothes to clean,
To put inside the machine,
It's the craziest place,
I have ever been.
Come 'round and meet my friends
They'll be there with me,
With me to the end,
With me to the end,
With me to the end.
They say I told you so,
But baby bad times come and go,
If you don't know that right now,
But then you'll never know.
What do you think of that,
I'm on the street like an old stray cat,
If you should look for me,
You'd know exactly where to go.
Come 'round and meet my friends
They'll be there with me,
With me to the end,
With me to the end,
With me to the end.
