lyrics

Bet Down the Launderette by Lorraine Bowen

My boxer shorts are torn!
My boxer shorts are torn!

A bachelor’s complaining
Angry that his boxer’s are torn
It’s Friday
And the busiest time in the morning

“I’m sorry, sorry, sorry that your boxers are torn
But quite a lot of your underwear
Is very shabby and worn
You know

Passion lasts longer than fashion
And fashion doesn’t last forever”
Says Bet down the launderette

She copes very well with this man
And gives him advice
She tells him where to go
To get some more shorts comfortable and nice
Because

“Passion lasts longer than fashion
And fashion doesn’t last forever”
Says Bet down the launderette

She’s a philosopher of words
She’s helft and strong
She’s sitting there thinking
I’ve been taken for granted for too long!

And the washing machines keep turning
Her passions , her passions are burning….

And as she puts on her coat
She leaves a note on the shelf
If you want another service wash
You’ll have to do it yourself
Because my passion lasts longer than fashion
And fashion doesn’t last forever

Says Bet down the launderette
