Clothes Dryer Lyrics[Intro]
When I was a little boy, one summer
I got sent away to laundry camp
Laundry camp!
That's where you do laundry all day long
There's no swimmin', no archery
Not even any free-play or basketball
But I loved it
It was the best summer of my whole life
I learned how to wash my clothes on a washboard and a tub
I learned how to hang my clothes with clothespins on a clothesline, in the wind and the sun
And I learned how to fold 'em, of course
And these habits stuck with me!
I still like doing my clothes like that
And that's why
It was really hard to adjust to the washing machinе that my honey brought home
But I adjusted
But onе thing I could just not adjust to
At all, was when
[Chorus]
My baby, she got a clothes dryer
Don't know why anyone would buy
A clothes dryer, ain't we got a line?
Ain't we got a yard full of sunshine?
[Verse 1]
My baby, she said this clothes dryer had got two settings
One low and one high
State of the art, it's got a patent pending
I said "Honey, if that's what the good Lord was intending
When He made the world, He woulda made a clothes dryer
But He made the sun, the wind and that's why
I ain't going anywhere near that thing
Get me two poles and a length of string!"
[Chorus]
Yeah, my baby, she got a clothes dryer
Don't know why anyone would buy
A clothes dryer, ain't we got a line?
Ain't we got a yard full of sunshine, yeah?
[Verse 2]
My baby, she said, "Come on, Randy, give it a try
You might even learn to like the clothes dryer"
I said, "Honey, when it spins, the whole house shakes
Gettin' that thing was a big mistake
It's gonna fry the circuit, it's gonna start a fire
When the house burns down, I'll blame the clothes dryer
Then you gotta clean the lint off the screen
I like it no better than the washing machine!"
[Chorus]
Yeah, my baby, she got a clothes dryer
Don't know why anyone would buy
A clothes dryer, ain't we got a line?
Ain't we got a yard full of sunshine?
Ain't we got a yard full of sunshine?
Ain't we got a yard full of sunshine?
