Washerwoman - Cliff Richard
Washerwoman washerwoman washerwoman
Working in the noon day sun
Doing what your mother’s done
Washerwoman washerwoman washerwoman
Men folk busy mending nets
Children playing with their pets
If you take a look around you
At the clothiers there on the ground
You maybe notice that they get them very clean
If you mention automation
They’ll reply with indignation
There is just no fascination
In a washing machine
(Break of day till setting sun woman’s work is never done
Work our fingers to the bone but you never hear us moan)
Washerwoman washerwoman washerwoman
Laughing gaily all the while
You look lovely when you smile
Washerwoman washerwoman washerwoman
Thankful for the end of day
Work is done now it’s time for play
