INTRO:
5 5
It's heaven havin' you for a husband.
4 1
It's delightful that we tied the knot.
2 27
Now to make our marriage really something, honey,
5 5
- you know what's coming - it's time we talked:
CHORUS:
4 4
It's time we talked about laundry.
1 1
It's time we stated some rules.
5
I can be your sweet lover,
5
not your maid, not your mother, an' I
4 17
don't aim to play your fool.
4 4
A grown man doesn't need help
1 6m7
to pick up after hisself.
5 5
A lifetime of love awaits,
4 47
if we can just get the ground rules straight.
5
It's time we talked about laundry
( 5 47 ) 1 17
for our relationship's sake.
VERSE:
5 5
Now honey, your hamper is this paper bag labeled "his",
4 1
and here's a little user guide:
5 5
Find these clothes you've thrown down, and scattered around,
1 6m
and pick 'em up and toss 'em inside.
3 3
But don't leave 'em too long, 'cause once they smell strong,
2m 4
it's time to haul 'em all downstairs,
5 4
to the big white box with the hole on the top
5 57 ( 57 1 )
and start 'em all swimming in there.
MINI-CHORUS:
4 4
It's time we talked about laundry.
1 1
It's time we made some things clear.
4
We got to talk about laundry
( 5 47 ) 1 17
and straighten up around here.
VERSE:
Now when I got a light load of laundry, I might
offer to add some of yours,
an' I expect you'll show me the same courtesy, but
let me warn you about drawers:
If you ever throw my dainties or hose
in any water hotter than cool, you'll just
see me in sweatpants, no more steamy romance, you'll be
steepin' in hot water too.
CHORUS ending:
... before we make a mistake.
VERSE 2nd HALF:
I think it's so cute, when we're gettin' down to it
how your clothes just fall to the floor.
But after a day, when they're still in my way,
it isn't cute any more.
SHORT CHORUS:
Let's talk about laundry,
set down a few rules.
You know a lifetime of love awaits,
once we negotiate
a few points about laundry
before it's too late.
