I wanted tenpence for the dryer Yes, that was how we met My laundry bag was broken My clothes were soaking wet I felt I needed hugging You needed board and lodging I can't complain We went down the drain Seems like I can't get away from you Even in the launderette Now my socks to your socks in the dryer And your jeans run into my shirt You always were untidy You wanted coffee round at my place It all seemed just a lark But you hadn't left there two weeks later And your hair's all over the bath It's good to get you to go I had to learn to say no I can't complain We went down the drain Seems like I can't get away from you Even in the launderette Now my socks to your socks in the dryer And your jeans run into my shirt I can't complain We went down the drain You always were untidy
