Bluesy harmonica floats in, occasionally touching strains of "Heartbreak Hotel," but pretty much just staying mellow. [Bracketed] bits are spoken, double indented (parenthetical) comments are a separate voice.
It's been 3 long months (ooh!)
Since I had any time
To add some soap & water to
These filthy clothes o'mine...
Oh yeah ... these are the -- Dirty Laundry Blues
Yeah, they quarantined my room,
Some scary germs they did find,
Worse'n King Tut's death cursed tomb
Crusted over in ancient times, oh yeah ...
Makin' a mess is my talent,
My clothes are all stained,
My deodorant just can't cut the smell,
And my family looks pained...
Yeah, yeah - I got the - Dirty Laundry Blues
It's gotten so bad
(Just let me tell you)
I could outstink the famous
Pepe' LePue
I'm so sloppy
(I won't lie)
If I was a man I'd have to wear a
ketchup colored tie
My sox walked out this mornin'
My jeans fell apart just now
I got but one clean t-shirt left
An' it's my rommate's anyhow ... --- (HEY!)
Oh it's the Blues,
The Damn Dirty Laundry Blues, oooh ...
Cuz I got them too damn tired,
too damn poor,
(my clothes don' love me - anymore)
smellin' bad, I'm tellin' it true,
stinkin' up the apartment, DIRTY LAUNDRY BLUES !!!
