Lyrics
Saturday morning, bag on my back Quarters in my pocket going clack clack clack Orange plastic chairs and the floor is shining Every single washer has a silver lining Round and round, hear that sound Everybody's socks are spinning around Laundromat dance floor, spin it, spin it Bubbles in the window, let the good times in it Laundromat dance floor, step and turn Warm clean clothes and nothing left to burn Oh-oh, spin it! (Spin it!) Oh-oh, win it! (Win it!) Laundromat dance floor, we're all in it Auntie by the dryer is folding to the beat Little boy is sliding in his socks across the feet Soap smell sweet like a sunny holiday Press the button, let the worries wash away Round and round, hear that sound Everybody's socks are spinning around Laundromat dance floor, spin it, spin it Bubbles in the window, let the good times in it Laundromat dance floor, step and turn Warm clean clothes and nothing left to burn Oh-oh, spin it! (Spin it!) Oh-oh, win it! (Win it!) Laundromat dance floor, we're all in it Timer's ticking, fifteen minutes left Shake your shoulders, shake it off, no rest Clap for the towels, clap for the sheets Clap for the neighbours moving to the beat Laundromat dance floor, spin it, spin it Bubbles in the window, let the good times in it Laundromat dance floor, step and turn Warm clean clothes and nothing left to burn Oh-oh, spin it! (Spin it!) Oh-oh, win it! (Win it!) Laundromat dance floor, we're all in it Fresh and warm, fresh and warm Folded up and ready for the morning
