Lyrics
Midnight at the laundromat Nothing else to do I put a quarter in the dryer And my socks begin to groove The machines are keeping rhythm Thump and tumble, thump and spin A girl across the folding table Gives me a little grin Quarter in the dryer, dancing shoes on Doing the laundry till the break of dawn Spin it, fold it, snap your fingers too Even the washing machine is in the mood Quarter in the dryer, dancing shoes on Sway on the tiles till the night is gone Warm and fuzzy, and the rhythm is right Dancing at the laundromat tonight She hums a little melody I tap along the lid We swing around the plastic chairs The way the old folks did The soap smells like a summer The towels are soft and warm We twirl a pair of pillowcases Away from the midnight storm Quarter in the dryer, dancing shoes on Doing the laundry till the break of dawn Spin it, fold it, snap your fingers too Even the washing machine is in the mood Quarter in the dryer, dancing shoes on Sway on the tiles till the night is gone Warm and fuzzy, and the rhythm is right Dancing at the laundromat tonight Bump, bump, round we go Hear the drum, nice and slow One more cycle, one more song Dancing all night long Quarter in the dryer, dancing shoes on Doing the laundry till the break of dawn Spin it, fold it, snap your fingers too Even the washing machine is in the mood Quarter in the dryer, dancing shoes on Sway on the tiles till the night is gone Warm and fuzzy, and the rhythm is right Dancing at the laundromat tonight Dancing shoes on, dancing shoes on Laundromat swing till the dawn
