Don't Take Your Lurex to the Laundromat Songtext
von Skyhooks

I took my Lurex suit down to the laundromat
I tried to get it cleaned
But when I opened up that lid
You should have seen what I seen
Yeah, I like to sparkle in my rhinestone jeans
You know I like to shine
But I just wrecked a hundred dollar suit
With a nickel, a quarter, and a dime
Don′t take your Lurex to the laundromat
I tell you brother, that's not where it′s at
Don't take your Lurex to the laundromat
If your suit's all dirty then I′m sorry about that
I like a little satin, love a little silk
To get me through the day
But I′m so depressed with all of this dirt
That I'm gonna dress in gray
Don′t take your Lurex to the laundromat
That goes for leather and lace
Don't take your Lurex to the laundromat
It′ll clean that smile right off your face


You put in your velvet, it'll come out a mess
If you wanna wash here you better change your dress
Don′t use the spin dryer or the blue, blue bleach
It'll total your threads like dry cleaning a peach
Don't take your Lurex to the laundromat
I tell you brother, that′s not where it′s at
Don't take your Lurex to the laundromat
If your suit′s all dirty then I'm sorry about that
Don′t take your Lurex to the laundromat
You wouldn't take a surfer to the snow
Now there′s a place for everything
And for everything there's a place for it to go
Wouldn't take a fly away to the movies, couldn′t see, could he?
Wouldn′t take a surfer to the snow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
Don't take your Lurex to the laundromat
′Cause that's not the place, the place for it to go
So, don′t take your Lurex to the laundromat
I tell you brother, that's not where it′s at
Don't take your Lurex to the laundromat
If your suit's all dirty then I′m sorry about that
If your suit′s all dirty then I'm sorry about that
If your suit′s all dirty then I'm sorry, sorry, sorry about that
