LET'S DO THE WASH (VERSION 1)
Sesame Street
Version 1
(A room with a washing machine. As music starts, a man walks by with a laundry basket. A boy comes up, whacks the side of the machine so it starts running, then he sings)
Boy: When you're eating spaghetti
And it gets all over your shirt
Little boy: (coming in) When you're making mud pies
And you come home covered with dirt
Man: When you look like you live in a pig pen
And you don't even know why
All: (joined by a young lady, an older lady, and a lady with glasses)
When you look like guck from your head to your toes
Who knows what to do with those dirty clothes
Let's do the Wash!
Glasses Lady: It makes your clothes so clean
All: Let's do the Wash!
Little boy: Just put 'em in the washing machine!
All: I love to hear that soap and water slosh
Boy: So come on, baby
All: Let's do the Wash!
(All swing their heads round and round, imitating the action of the washing machine)
Young Lady: When you're skippin' rope
And the rope trips over your shoe
Glasses Lady: When you've got an ice cream cone
And it drips and it sticks like glue
Older Lady: When you just try to jump a puddle
And somehow it gets on you
All: I know a way that I bet we could
Get those dirty clothes lookin' good
Let's do the Wash!
Young Lady: It gets your clothes so clean
All: Let's do the Wash!
Man: Just put 'em in the washing machine
All: I love to hear that soap and water slosh
Older lady: So come on, baby
All: Let's do the Wash!
(head swinging dance again)
Ooooooooooooo!
Let's do the Wash!
Glasses Lady: It makes your clothes so clean
All: Let's do the Wash!
Little Boy: Just put 'em in the washing machine
All: I love to hear that soap and water slosh
Boy: So come on, baby
All: Let's do the Wash!
Do the Wash!
Do the Wash!
Oh......
