(Good Old Electric) Washing Machine (Circa. 1943) Lyrics

Well i sure do miss that goold old electric washing machine
the one that wea in't got round here no more
and i sure do miss that big round tub and them stomping swinging ousnds
and i miss them groovy puddles on the floor
cause the new one just goes
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
but the old one went.......
well i cry when i see that brand new automatic washing machine
cause i'm sentimanetal for that old machine still yet
cause that old one really looked like a rel live washing machine
but the new one just looks more like a television set
cause the new one just goes
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
but the old one went.......

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
